Green Operations Award 2014 – final five for EFA ceremony


On January 14 we will reveal the winner of the 3rd Green Operations Award. As a category of the 6th European Festival Awards the GO Award forms something like the “green Oscar” of the European Festival scene. The ceremony will be held at the Oosterport on the opening night of next year’s EurosonicNoorderslag festival and conference.

We are happy that the award will be presented by jury member Niklas Lundel from last year’s winner Way Out West (Sweden).

This is the final short list of contenders running for the Green Operations Award 2014:

 

Good luck to all of you!

Green Operations Award coordinator and Yourope’s anchorman for green issues Holger Jan Schmidt (GreenEvents Europe) says: “And again we have a list of incredible festivals, initiatives and projects that really make an impact for green issues and sustainability. Serriously, it is impossible to award the greenest festival in Europe. They are so different in size, venue, audience, philosophy and history. What we do is the true acknowledgement and a reward for superb action, innovation or improvement. That actually means that all events mentioned in the list of nominnees are winners already. Congratulations!”
