The Summer may be long forgotten but the memories of the best festivals of the year are about to be revived!
Voting for the Fifth Annual Irish Festival Awards is underway.
The Awards are giving festival fans across the country a chance to vote for the Irish festivals that made Summer 2011 one to remember. Voting is available online now at www.festivalawards.ie.
With a total of 20 category awards up for grabs – ranging from Best Large Festival and Best Service; to Greenest Festival and Family Festival Awards – the public’s favourites will be unveiled after voting closes on January 31st.
With Ireland producing an incredibly high standard and broad range of festivals this year, the competition is set to be the closest call the awards have seen since they were set up in 2007.
“The Irish Festival Awards were set up in 2007 to honour the people behind the scenes that make every Irish Summer such an eclectic celebration of music, art and performance,” said Awards Director, Cillian Stewart.
“Every fan can vote for the festival or music act that made their social calendar sparkle. Voting on the shortlist takes place every December & January and for their trouble, fans are in with a chance to win tickets to every winning festival so don't delay, get online & vote!”
