Sarner Recognised as AV Awards 2025 Proud Finalist
We are delighted to announce that Sarner has been shortlisted as a Proud Finalist in the AV Awards 2025, one of the most prestigious global celebrations of innovation and excellence in the audio-visual and immersive technology industries.
This recognition highlights our work on Odyssey Malta, a landmark immersive visitor attraction located in the iconic Mercury Towers development, designed by the late Zaha Hadid. Commissioned by Mercury Contracting Projects Ltd, the attraction takes audiences on a spectacular journey through Malta’s rich cultural heritage, blending powerful storytelling with state-of-the-art theatre technology, a multisensory dark walk, and a breathtaking flying theatre finale. The result is an unforgettable experience that combines entertainment and education in equal measure.
The AV Awards are widely regarded as the benchmark for excellence in the AV and experience design sectors. To be recognised among the industry’s leading innovators is a huge honour, and testament to the creativity, technical expertise, and dedication of the Sarner team and our partners who helped bring Odyssey to life.
For over five decades, Sarner has led the way in museum and exhibition design, creating immersive experiences and visitor attractions that inspire, educate, and engage audiences worldwide. From cultural heritage sites to large-scale entertainment destinations, our projects push the boundaries of what experiential storytelling can achieve, combining artistry with cutting-edge technology to deliver lasting impact.
The winners of the AV Awards 2025 will be announced on Friday, 7 November 2025 at Battersea Evolution, London, where over 1,400 industry leaders will gather to celebrate the most outstanding achievements in the sector.
We are delighted to be recognised as a finalist and extend our thanks to our talented team, our partners, and our clients for their continued trust and collaboration. Together, we remain committed to shaping the future of immersive design and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression.
“Being recognised as a finalist for the AV Awards 2025 is a huge honour for everyone involved in Odyssey Malta. This project was about more than technology — it was about bringing Malta’s incredible heritage to life through immersive storytelling, innovative design, and emotional impact. We’re immensely proud of what we’ve created together with our partners, and to see it celebrated on this international stage is a real testament to the client and team’s passion and dedication.”
