Following the example of UK Festival Awards, where we have been nominated in three past years, and in 2007 were awarded as well, Virtual Festivals Europe, the first online portal for European festivals organizers and their audiences, in cooperation with Yourope, European association of 56 biggest festivals in Europe, for the first time organizes an awarding ceremony for the best European festivals. Within UK Festival Awards we have been nominated in the past three years in a special category, dedicated to the festivals outside UK, since all the other categories and the whole concept are reserved, as the name says, for British festivals. This time, equally competing for the award in several different categories are important and big festivals from Europe, and ours has been nominated for the most important one - Best Major Festival.
