LAST ROUND OF PUBLIC VOTING TO DETERMINE THE WINNERS AT THE INAUGURAL EVENT!
More than 30,000 European festival fans have so-far rallied to shape the shortlists in the Best Major, Medium Sized, Small and New Festival categories.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, an assembled panel of esteemed industry representatives (see below) have concurred to produce the final line-ups of four additional categories - Best European Festival Line-Up, Best Artist Newcomer, Best Headline Artist and Anthem Of The Year.
Fans are now able to vote for a second time to determine the final winners in all eight of the above categories.
Vote now at: www.eu.virtualfestivals.com/festivalawards
Voting will close once and for all on Wednesday 30th December before the winners are unveiled at the gala ceremony, which takes place on Wednesday 13 January at The Grand Theatre, Eurosonic Noorderslag 2010, Groningen, Netherlands.
The winners of the YOUROPE Clean'N'Green Award, Artist's Favourite Festival, Promoter Of The Year and Lifetime Achievement Award will be decided by appropriate members of the industry jury (not public vote).
You can vote in as many categories as you want, depending how many you've been to and which ones are relevant to you. And by entering, you can enter the competition to win two tickets to every award winning festival in 2009 - that could total more than nine!
