Entry Categories

Entries must be images or animations created using Intergraph Process, Power & Marine software as the primary tool. Subject matter should relate to the process, power, offshore, or shipbuilding industries.

Visually Complex – Based on visual complexity shown in one image, this category is open to any type of plant – onshore, offshore, pharmaceutical, power generation, food & beverage, etc. Although the entire plant need not be shown, a view highlighting complexity is recommended. A screen capture of this image will do; however, additional rendering showing surface detail, shadows, and reflections may help reveal complexity.

Discipline-specific – This image spotlights your discipline, whether structural, HVAC, equipment, or electrical, using Intergraph software as a professional tool.

Rendering and Ray Traces – This traditional Golden Valve Awards category comprises 3D model images, which are highly detailed and attractive with mirror-like reflections, smooth shading, and fiery skies. Images must be captured in high resolution and show the inherent beauty of a finely detailed 3D model.

Animation – This category encompasses movies or multimedia presentations related to the process, power, or offshore industries. Fly-throughs and sales presentations are some examples.

There will also be Judges’ Choice awards for power and offshore images.
