After listening to the opinions of last year's judges and you, the readers, it was decided to split Event Spaces of the Year (non exhibition) into three awards.
To ensure that each venue is equally judged against one another we have decided to have small, medium and large venue awards.
Small venues need to have a total capacity of under 300, medium from 301 to 700, and large must be able to host more than 700.
So get thinking as to what you can enter as the . Deadline is 20 May 2010.
Criteria is as follows:

Venues can range from clubs and restaurants to temporary structures and blank canvas venues. Each venue must showcase how it has hosted three events during the qualifying period and exceeded the brief for each one with reference to the challenges it faced, the service it provided to the client, it's facilities, and flexibility.
