To be held at Manchester’s Escape to Freight Island, the UK Festival Awards presents the ideal opportunity for festival organisers and suppliers to get together and reflect on the past season whilst looking forward to the next; the awards themselves have been decided by either fan votes, expert panel, or a combination of both in categories including Best Major Festival, Outstanding Contribution and, for one year only, the Perfect Pivot Award for the festival business that applied its skills to alternative activity during the Covid closure. With awards ranging from grassroots to large and categories for family and non-music festivals. The awards have received well over 400 entries and 190,000 fan votes, with fans deciding the outcome of more categories than ever. The full 2022 shortlists can be found at https://www.festivalawards.com/shortlists-2022/Â
All AGF certified events from the UK and worldwide will be announced at the International AGF Awards during the Green Events & Innovations Conference, GEI 15, London, 28th Feb 2023.
