The judges of the Event Production Awards (EPAs) 2022 have finalised the shortlist of entries for the ceremony, which will take place on 17 February.

The event will celebrate the outstanding work of individuals and teams behind the successful delivery of outdoor and live events during the past 12 months. Having been staged at the Event Production Show last year in a reduced format, necessitated by the pandemic, this year’s full-scale event will return to Novotel London West.

Each winning entry will receive a £5,000 marketing budget to spend in Access All Areas magazine.

Access All Areas editor Christopher Barrett said, “Event professionals across every aspect of our industry have shown remarkable professionalism, skill and resilience while tackling unprecedented challenges to bring back full-capacity events. There has never been a more fitting time to celebrate the wealth and diversity of skilled operators in our industry. We would particularly like to thank EPA’s sponsor, Ticketpass.”

Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
