Arthur Award Winners 2006

The presentation of The Arthur Awards 2006 took place at the 6th Form Prizegiving Gala Dinner in the splendour of The Ballroom, Claridges, Brook Street, London W1 on Saturday 11th March.

In the last 16 or so years that these essentially tongue-in-cheek awards have been running, 'The Arthurs' have developed a life of their own - with unexpected prestige being bestowed upon them by both the industry and the international press.

To match their elevated status, last year we introduced a smarter, more sophisticated Arthur trophy and a new, more representative voting system. This year we made some changes to the categories themselves to make the awards even more relevant. To recognize rising talent among the ILMC's younger members, a new accolade was instituted: 'Tomorrow's New Boss'. The existing award for industry professionals was broadened, to cover the service sector from professional advisers to hands-on support providers like merchandisers or catering companies - with the title 'Services Above and Beyond'. Trophies for artists and managers were rolled together into one glittering prize the 'Least Painful Tour'...

The list of nominations was drawn up from the votes of a randomly selected panel of 30 people, representing a wide selection of countries and occupations.
