Since 2009, the combination of judges and voters has annually decided on the best festivals and performers. Last year, they recorded over 350 000 votes for over 200 nominated festivals in different categories. This year’s awards will be announced at Oosterport Congress Centre, Groningen, Holland, on Wednesday 9th January 2013.

In addition, the band DOPE D.O.D. that also performed at our festival at Mladina stage on June 24^th 2012, happens to be one of the nominated bands for Newcomer of the Year.
