The Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork has scooped a second prestigious award for its stunning Cosmos at the Castle digital exhibition. The observatory scooped the Best Digital Animation Award at the 2008 Institute of Designers in Ireland (IDI) awards ceremony, which celebrates the latest in cutting edge design within Irish industry. In February of this year the interactive exhibition received global recognition when the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) awarded it a gong for 'Outstanding Achievement'. This was the first time in the association's history that the award was given to an exhibition outside of the US.
