Striving for the highest degree of excellence in festival and event promotions and operations in every budget level and every corner of the globe, this competition has not only raised the standards and quality of the festivals and events industry to new levels, but also shows how event producers can use innovation and creativity to achieve a higher level of success.” continues Steven.

Alan Hogan, of Elemental Arts and Culture Festival Limerick said, “It is great to see the work which has gone into the festival and the brochure being recognized on such a significant, international scale. For a festival, there is no higher recognition. Created with David Curtin of Brainstorm Design and illustrator Jacob Stack, the 2015 brochure has an augmented feature. To celebrate the win, the good people at Augment.com have very kindly activated the app once more, until October 9th, so people who still have the brochure can download the app and have some fun with it.”
