PSNEurope is delighted to reveal the nominees for the 2018 Pro Sound Awards.
Now entering its sixth year, the 2018 Pro Sound Awards will take place at London’s Steel Yard on Thursday, November 22, and will once again celebrate the very finest achievements, companies and individuals from the past 12 months.
This year we have given our list of categories a major overhaul, adding a number of new awards to proceedings and parting ways with others to reflect the ever-evolving nature of the pro audio market. In addition to several newly added product categories, we have also introduced two new breakthrough engineer categories (studio and FOH) to honour those shaping the future our industry. We also have a new Campaign Award for 2018, aimed at honouring a campaign or movement that has helped deliver positive changes to working practices, diversity and equality.
PSNEurope editor Daniel Gumble commented: “Following the huge success of last year’s event, we are delighted to bring the Pro Sound Awards back to the Steel Yard for 2018. 2017 marked a year of transformation for the Pro Sound Awards, and it is vital that we continue to develop and evolve its content year after year. The pro audio world is changing more rapidly than ever and it’s our job to reflect those changes and to honour not only long-established market leaders, but also the pioneers and innovators of tomorrow.”
Tickets for this year’s event are on sale now and can be purchased here for £55. Each ticket provides access to the drinks reception, awards ceremony, the after party and also a light buffet.
