Themed Entertainment Association Thea Awards



The TEA is pleased to announce the 2003 Thea Awards for Outstanding Achievement. The Conference and Awards will be held October 3 & 4, 2003 at the Century Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles. The conference will begin with lunch on Friday, Oct. 3, and the Awards Gala will be held the evening of October 4th (Saturday). Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling TEA at 818-843-8497. Over the next few months, we will be gathering and making public the lists of credits for the projects acknowledged this year. Our hope in doing this is to allow our membership (and non-members as well) to know who contributed to these examples of outstanding achievements and to verify the accuracy of the listed credits. TEA has no authority to arbitrate or regulate the credits, which will be provided by the project owners.
