The Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) has announced the opening of nominations for the annual ESSA Awards, with the presentations to the winners of each of the five categories taking place at the ESSA Conference Dinner & Awards, Arena MK, Thursday, November 29, 2018.

Nominations close at 5 pm on September 30 for each of the award categories, more information and entry forms are now available on the ESSA website. Tickets for the conference and awards evening will go on sale in early September. 

Opening the nominations, Andrew Harrison recalled the first awards, given at the ESSA 10th Anniversary Snow Ball last year, “It was such a pleasure to see the winners being so warmly received and recognised by the 300 strong crowd, that we resolved to make them an annual feature.”

“ESSA is packed with talent and members doing superb work, and we want to recognise and applaud it,” continued Harrison, “last year Chris Criscione of Equinox Design, Aztec Event Services and Samantha Fenlon of Freeman were our first ever winners from a strong field of entrants. With two new awards this year, we want to invite all our members to consider putting themselves forward and nominating individuals within their organisations.”
