The Art Directors Guild (ADG), IATSE Local 800 (ADG 800), has announced the nominees for its 30th annual Excellence in Production Design Awards across theatrical films, television, commercials, music videos, and animated features.
The many categories reflect the wildly diverse challenges and formats in which production designers work. From enchanted kingdoms to the streets of today, members of the Art Directors Guild craft the environments that bring film, television, and theater to life. These members come from over 3,000 artists, including production designers and art directors, scenic, title and graphic artists, set tesigners and model makers, illustrators, storyboard and matte artists.
Lifetime Achievement Awards will be presented to Bo Welch (production designer, director), Jann Engel (set designer, art director), Tom Southwell (illustrator, storyboard artist, production designer), and Stephen McNally (scenic artist), in recognition of their exceptional contributions and lasting impact on their respective disciplines. The ceremony will take place on February 28, 2026, at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown.
