2005 GALA AWARD TO CHARLES BANFIELDThe Gala Awards have been given by Special Events Magazine, the premier industry publication, since 1986, when the awards honored the "top 10 events of 1985."

For the 2005 Gala Awards, the magazine received more than 300 entries in 35 categories from Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Thailand and the United States. Members of the Special Events Magazine Advisory Board, made up of leaders in the event profession, spent three days in October at the magazine's offices in Pacific Palisades (Los Angeles), California, to select the 105 finalist events. Nominated entries went through three rounds of judging. The Special Events Magazine Advisory Board announced Charles' Award during The Special Event 2006 Conference Jan. 13, 2006 in Dallas, Texas, at a black-tie gala ceremony at the Adam's Mark Hotel.
