CINEMA AUDIO SOCIETY 60TH CAS AWARDS | 11 A N N U A L CAS AWAR DS 60 TH In 1994, the Cinema Audio Society unveiled the award. After all those years, the establishment of an award given to sound mixers by their peers had become a reality. The first CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing were presented to mixers in two categories, one for Motion Pictures and one for Television. The 60th Annual CAS Awards will mark the 30th anniversary of the CAS's own awards. This year, they will be presented in seven categories: In addition to increasing the number of categories, the award recipients have expanded from re-recording and production mixers to now include the ADR, Foley and scoring mixers. 2006 saw the redesign and renaming of the CAS Life Achievement Award. Now it's called the CAS Career Achievement Award. Also in 2006, the CAS presented its first Filmmaker Award, and began the publication of the new CAS Quarterly. Other award changes have been the presentation of Technical Achievement Awards and the Edward J. Greene Award for the Advancement of Sound. In 2016, the CAS presented its first Student Recognition Award. These awards are given to students who have demonstrated potential in the field of sound mixing and/or sound recording and aspire to pursue a career in sound. Over the years, each President and Board member has built on the momentum of their predecessors to grow the CAS. We have not forgotten where we started, we keep pushing the boundaries, and look to the future to advance the art of sound. We owe so much of our success to our gifted volunteers and our corporate sponsors, without which we would not be where we are today.
