Excellence in Holography Awards 2023 - Winners

The International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) awards have put sustainability and innovation at the heart of global holographic growth and success.

This year, the judges were particularly impressed by strong advances in new application areas and the continued integration of traditional holograms with other technologies to deliver added value authentication solutions, together with a host of augmented packaging and enhanced design possibilities.

The winner of the ‘Best Origination’ category, as well as overall winner of the ‘Best in Show’ (a new category for 2024 based on the highest score of all the submissions), was Meta Materials for its QUANTUM stripe banknote authentication product. Based on the company’s award-winning KolourOptik® technology, QUANTUM stripe combines movement, 3D stereoscopic depth, and multi-colour effects in an ultrathin form factor.
