The Art Directors Guild (ADG), IATSE Local 800, has announced the nominees for its 30th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, recognizing outstanding achievement in production design across film, television, commercials, music videos, and animation.
The milestone ceremony will take place February 28, 2026, at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, marking three decades of honoring the artists who shape the visual language of storytelling.
