Pro Sound Awards: lobbying guide
Who would you like to see victorious at the Pro Sound Awards on 19 September at London’s Ministry of Sound? Well, now’s your chance to get involved, as we declare the lobbying period… OPEN!
THE PRO Sound Awards will be held on 19 September 2013 at
the Ministry of Sound nightclub in London, with some 16 different accolades being handed out during the evening. Sennheiser and DiGiCo have already signed up as headline sponsors. The PSAs will cover the broad spectrum of the world of professional audio, recognising excellence in the four sectors of Live/Touring, Studio, Installed Sound and Broadcast Audio. But to get there, we need your input. Here, then, are the criteria for each prize plus all the information you need to get involved. As of 10 April – yes, the first
day of the Prolight + Sound show – the lobbying period is open, and it will remain so until 31 May

feelings known. The more relevant detail present in your contribution, the easier it will be to sift through the great number of lobbying suggestions we expect to receive. But please – no more than 300 words per entry. Based on the email
2013. Lobbying is totally free, anyone can make suggestions, and it’s easy to contribute. Online at
www.prosoundawards.
comyou will find concise criteria for each award category. Read through the categories and see which one(s) you feel you want to make a pitch for: either nominating yourself, your team, an associate, or a project or person you have been impressed with and want to give recognition.
Send your short pitch (up to
300 words MAXIMUM) for each award under consideration to prosoundawards@
intentmedia.co.uk. Provide as much factual
information as possible – data and evidence of notable successes are invaluable. Up to three hotlinks to relevant material online can also be provided. And by all means ask your colleagues or industry friends to make their
nominations, the Pro Sound Awards team will create a list of finalists for each category. This process involves looking at the performance of those nominated companies over the past year, plus the information provided by the lobbying emails. We DON’T base finalist positions on the number of emails we receive about a particular company. A shortlist of finalists for each
category will be presented to a large panel of judges from across the spectrum of the pro-audio
industry. These judges ultimately will choose the winners of each Pro Sound Award (with the exception of the Grand Prix and Lifetime Achievement prizes). “With the lobbying window open, the first Pro Sound Awards is really underway,” says PSNEurope editor Dave Robinson. “But the event will be nothing unless we read your suggestions for whom deserves a prize. As you will see, we’re looking to award prizes to people – technical and creative types – not to ‘products’ or ‘equipment’. We’ll let other awards do that. So, who do you know that should be given a gong for greatness? Give it some thought, then send us your pitch – and who knows, they might be joining us on 19 September!”
