Over the years we have seen some incredible entries and a tough judging process to whittle down the best in each category. Given that 100% Optical 2024 is our 10th anniversary show, we’re anticipating a really exciting awards ceremony and cannot wait to honour the hard work, innovation and creativity this industry has to offer.
