The municipality of Loulé is once again nominated for the Iberian Festival Awards and in this 8th edition the MED Festival and Som Riscado – Music and Image Festival are joined by Noite Branca Algarve – Loulé and the Loulé Carnival.
The MED Festival, a totalist in terms of presence in these awards since the first edition, is nominated in 10 categories, nine of them the same as last year: Best Medium-Sized Festival, Best Tourist Promotion, Best Cultural Program, Best Communication and Marketing Strategy , Best Performance (PT/ES) with the concert by the Portuguese Sétima Legião, Best International Performance with the concert by the Malians Amadou & Mariam, Contribution to Sustainability, Contribution to Equality and Best Lusophone and Hispanic Festival.
What's new is the integration of a new category, Best Video Coverage, with the work carried out by Digital+TV during the MED.
The latter is also one of the categories in which Som Riscado – Festival de Música e Imagem appears as a nominee, but, in this case, the coverage of the event was carried out by another Algarve production company, Take 5 Produções.
This festival, which took place last November, has 8 more nominations: Best Small Festival, Best Indoor Festival, Best Cultural Program, Best Communication and Marketing Strategy, Best Performance (PT/ES) with the concert by The Gift , Best “Electronic Act” with the set of Stereossauro ft. Ana Magalhães, Best Reception Space (with Cineteatro Louletano, although activities include
also other spaces in the city) and Best Photography (Mário Lino).
This year, Noite Branca Algarve – Loulé and Loulé Carnival are also part of the Portuguese and Spanish events competing for these awards. Both are on the list of nominees for Best Festivity and, in the case of Loulé Carnival, this is a debut.
The winners of the eighth Iberian Festival Awards will be announced at a gala that will take place on the evening of March 15th, in the Spanish city of Granada. But even earlier, on January 30th, the top 10 finalists are announced in each of the categories, both in those that are decided by the public and those that are elected by the jury.
Voting runs until 17 January through this website.
The Iberian Festival Awards aim to recognize the best of festivals in the Iberian Peninsula, in their different aspects, as well as the agents who participate in them.
