The polls for the UK Festival Awards 2016 have now closed and we can reveal the shortlists for all categories decided upon by the public. We’d like to thank each and every festival that took the time to nominate themselves this year – thanks to you we received an unprecedented amount of entries and votes.
The shortlists for the following categories, mostly decided by industry juries, will be revealed next week: Best Use of New Technology, The Extra-Festival Activity Award, Best Toilets, Best Hospitality, Promoter of the Year, Agency of the Year, Concession of the Year, The Brand Activation Award, Best Non-Music Festival, and Best Festival For Emerging Talent.
Anyway, without further ado…
