Croatia’s Ambasador awards add a DIY festival category for their tenth edition
The electronic music awards introduce a category for independent and DIY festivals, with the winners due to be announced in Zagreb on 11 November.
Croatia’s Ambasador electronic music awards have added a category dedicated to independent and DIY festivals for their tenth edition. The recognition places smaller projects alongside established names in a programme that covers the Croatian and regional scenes.
The nominees in the new category are DnB United Vol. 3, Egofree Festival, Escape The City, Pandemonium Festival and Festival Planet Dom. The awards also recognise artists, releases, clubs, radio shows and organisers. Public voting closed on 28 October; the results have not yet been announced.
A decade of documenting the scene
The organisers say the ceremony on 11 November at Zagreb’s Boogaloo will open with a short documentary looking back at ten years of Ambasador. The newly announced programme also includes an analogue photography exhibition and live performances by Eleven, Neon Lies and Plazmatick.
Klubska Scena presents the awards with the association Klubska kultura. Beyond the ceremony, the new DIY category gives a distinct place to festivals working outside the largest commercial circuits.
