The SPADA/ONFILM Industry Champion of the Year Award
NOMINATE 2005'S INDUSTRY CHAMPION NOW!
It's time again for OnFilm readers to nominate a member of the screen sector for the 7th annual SPADA/Onfilm Industry Champion Award.
The award is intended to reward "passion and professionalism in making a significant contribution to the production industry". The term "significant contribution" is deliberately vague, to keep the criteria as open and as broad as possible - it may describe a single action, activity or achievement, or an entire lifetime of commitment.
The winner may be an individual, an organisation, or a company, and will be unveiled at the Small Country, Big Picture during the TVNZ Big Dinner on Friday 18 November.
The inaugural SPADA/Onfilm Champion was writer Arthur Baysting, a key figure in uniting the industry under the Green Ribbon banner to campaign for a NZ TV quota; the 2000 winner was the NZFC's marketing maven of 20 years, Lindsay Shelton; in 2001 the honour went to Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh for their "passion, bloody-mindedness and sheer chutzpah"; South Pacific Picture's John Barnett got the nod in 2002 thanks to the myriad roles he has played as an "indefatigable member of the industry, its culture and its politics"; in 2003 John McRae was tapped in recognition of his unstinting contribution to New Zealand television drama during his long career; and last year the recipient was Diana Rowan, thanks to her "immeasurable passion, commitment, integrity and success in helping NZ drama" in her career as a casting director par excellent.
