32nd Thea Recipients

 

The prestigious TEA Thea Award is one of the highest honors in the themed experience industry, recognizing outstanding individuals, projects, and technologies worldwide. The new TEA Recognition of Merit celebrates exceptional projects that exemplify superior artistry and execution but did not receive enough votes for a Thea Award, allowing more creative achievements to be honored.

For the first time in Thea history, these magic makers will be celebrated at the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes, from 29 April to 2 May 2026.
