The shortlist for the National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) Awards 2017 has been announced. The 14th annual convention and awards dinner will be held at the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms on the 22 November. The event will see the very best of organisations in the industry recognised.
Susan Tanner, NOEA’s chief executive, commented: “This year saw a 50 per cent increase in nominations across all categories for the awards which was unprecedented. Consequently our judges had a hard job to decide on the three or four shortlisted in each category today.”
“The quality of entry has once again improved from previous years, and some amazing events have applied,” said Alistair Turner, head judge and managing director of EIGHT PR & Marketing, added. “The strength of entries was excellent and seeing some events come back with even more success shows their commitment to the awards. It is a huge achievement for those shortlisted today and we look forward to seeing who is named as winners in November.”
