2002 DIMA Innovative Digital Product Awards announced

ORLANDO, Fla. - Out of the hundreds of digital products on display at the PMA 2002 Annual Convention and Trade Show in Orlando, Fla., USA, fifteen have been selected by digital imaging editors and writers to receive the prestigious DIMA Innovative Digital Product Award. The annual award is one of several events sponsored by the Digital Imaging Marketing Association, a section of PMA.

An Innovative Digital Product of PMA 2002 is determined by the judges to utilize new technologies and/or applications in such a way as to make the product either unique or the first of its kind. The products are of high quality, and show themselves to be an influence on the future of digital imaging. Whether the product is hardware or software, amateur or professional, photographic or prepress, or any other segment, is irrelevant; the judges were simply asked to cover the PMA Trade Show floor with an eye to the innovative.
