IHMA Awards Continue to Shine in Difficult Times

The winners of the International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) Awards for Excellence in Holography were announced, amid a shower of virtual confetti, at the closing of The Holography Conference Online (THCO) on 18 November, with a total of six awards up for grabs.

The awards mark the pinnacle of success for those who have been involved at the forefront of developing innovative or commercially viable hologram products or techniques over the past 12 months, recognising unparalleled sector achievement during the difficult and challenging times caused by COVID.

The 2021 awards saw Krypten Research and Production Company scoop the coveted ‘Innovation in Holographic Technology’ award for its 3D-GRAM® CONTRUST Security Patch – a photopolymer holographic patch with a striking and unambiguous colour change in the images from red to green when rotated at 180°.
