Monolith Awards Development & Positioning
Developed and curated content defining Monolith Award categories, jurors, and communication strategy across 14 key areas including Gaming Tech: Audio-Driven Narrative, Excellence in UX, Visionary Innovation, Virtual Art Department, Real-Time Production, AI Technical & Creative Achievement, and the Nexus Award: Excellence in Applied Technology. The awards program, overseen by Executive Producer Dane Smith, assembled a globally diverse panel of jurors from major industry players including Paramount, Netflix, Narwhal Studios, Cuebric, and Hexagram—many working in XR, AI, or real-time production. This positioning reinforced the awards' credibility and alignment with technological leadership and inclusivity in creative industries, celebrating previous winners such as Avatar: The Way of Water, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and Refik Anadol's Living Paintings.
