The Iberian Festival Awards will recognise the contributions and achievements of the Portuguese and Spanish festival industries’ organisers, suppliers and major players in areas such as brand activation, production & logistics, curation, hospitality and many more. This initiative aims also to enhance Iberian relations, to optimize and operationalize effective dyads between the two countries. The Iberian Festival Awards is regulated by Festival Awards Ltd, the founder and promoter of the prestigious UK and European Festival Awards.
