I am trying to gather a list of all special effects award
ceremonies/organizations that recognize and award special/visual
effects. I work for a small special effects company
that worked on LOTR 1,2,&3 and we are trying to gain media exposure.
We can't afford paying for advertising so we hope to gain media
exposure by winning some awards for the work that we do. In order to
win these awards we must submit our application to the award event. I
need a list of all award events that represent or have a special
effects/visual effetcs catagory.

One example of an award event is the Visual Effects Society Awards
Ceremony which can be found at http://www.vesawards.com/
Another example of a German visual/special effect award
organization/ceremony can be found here:
http://www.edit-frankfurt.de/en/index.htm

I need to have as many as possible if not all known visual/special
effects award organizations both in the US and internationally. If
they have websites just list the URL's or the URL's to the
organization info about the award.

Thanks for helpting a small business and its employees get started! If
I get a good list I can be a really good tipper! ;-)
