The Event Production Awards (EPAs) 2023 shortlist has been announced ahead of next month’s event at Twickenham Stadium.

Organised by Access All Areas owner Mash Media and overseen by the team behind the Event Production Show and Access All Areas Conference & Awards, the EPAs will celebrate excellence in the delivery and production of live events.

Taking place on 16 February, the EPAs categories will cover a range of services and skills across the live events sector, with suppliers, agencies, venues, production teams and promoters all up for awards.

Instead of focusing on individual events this year, the EPAs will celebrate the achievements of companies. New categories include Best Sports Promoter, Production Agency of the Year, Creative Agency of the Year and Best Music Promoter. Also new for this is the Save of the Season award.
