Pro Sound Awards – they’re coming news


PRO OUNDAWARDS SOUND WADAWA Thursday, 25th Sep T Thursday EUROPE


Thursday, 25th September 2014 Ministry Of Sound, London


ptember 2014 S


FOLLOWING THE overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s inaugural Pro Sound Awards, PSNEurope and other participating Intent Media titles are thrilled to announce a bigger and better event for 2014. The Pro Sound Awards 2014 will be held on 25 September (save the date!) at the world-famous Ministry of Sound nightclub in London, with no less than 17 accolades, including two brand-new categories, handed out during the evening. Also back for more is the complimentary drinks reception and afterparty, which many would argue was the highlight of PSA 2013. (We can’t remember.) The PSA celebrates


excellence in live and touring, studio, installed and broadcast audio, and is supported by PSNEurope and our sister titles Installation, Audio Pro International, Audio Media, MI Pro and Music Week. New for 2014 is the PSA


‘Pre-Roll’, which will be held in the late afternoon and early evening of the 25th and “segue seamlessly in the awards proper,” according to PSNEurope’s Dave Robinson. He continues: “The Pre-Roll will feature two sessions where we’ll be getting up-close and personal with some big names from pro audio circles. We don’t want to disclose too much right now, but we promise you something entertaining, enlightening and, hopefully, a little bit out of the ordinary.” As with last year, a number


of partnership opportunities are available. To find out more, contact: Ryan O’Donnell (ryan.odonnell@intentmedia. co.uk) or Rian Zoll-Khan (rian.zoll-khan@intentmedia. co.uk), or alternatively call them on +44 (0)20 7354 6000. www.prosoundawards.com


Tickets are now available at a special early bird price of £79 (full price £99). For more information, please visit www.prosoundawards.com.

The process will be familiar to all those who took part in 2013’s show, but for all you Pro Sound Awards newcomers here’s a handy lowdown as to how the lobbying process works. The lobbying period will open on 15 April – the first day, entirely coincidentally, of PALME Middle East – and from this point, all companies, services and individuals with an interest in the pro audio industry are invited to nominate themselves, a supplier, an event or a client whom they regard as worthy of receiving wider recognition. The lobbying period will stay open until Friday 30 May – more details of how to submit your nominations will be in Tuesday 8 April’s PSN-e weekly newsletter (sign up at www.psneurope.com).


Based on the email nominations, the team behind the Pro Sound Awards 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.


The finalists for each category will be presented to panel of independent judges from across the entire pro audio industry, who will ultimately choose the winners of each Pro Sound Award (with the exception of the Grand Prix, Rising Star and Lifetime Achievement prizes).
