The International AGF Awards 2023 is set to take place on 28th February, during the Green Events & Innovations Conference in London.
The awards ceremony is organized by AGF (A Greener Festival), a not-for-profit company dedicated to promoting sustainability in events, festivals, and arenas.
This year, 29 events and arenas from 11 countries have been selected as finalists in the awards, which are given across 9 important sustainability categories including power, water, food, and travel. The top accolade of the International Greener Festival Award 2023 will also be awarded.
Finalists were chosen from all AGF-certified Greener Events, Greener Festivals, and Greener Arenas over the past year, based on their top scores across key sustainability criteria. The applicants underwent a detailed assessment, site visits, and analysis by AGF auditors.
AGF CEO Claire O’Neill expressed her excitement and congratulatory message to the finalists and nominees. She said, “Going greener is well and truly transcending barriers,” and thanked everyone who put in the work to make events, arenas, and festivals more sustainable.
The shortlists for the International AGF Awards 2023 include: International Greener Festival Award, Greener Transport Award, Community Action Award, Circular Event Award, Greener Catering Award, Greener Power Award, Pied Piper Award, AGF Water & Sanitation Award, and Greener Innovations Award.
The International AGF Award ceremony is open to everyone and takes place during the Green Events & Innovations Conference, organized by AGF in partnership with the International Live Music Conference (ILMC).
