Finalists Revealed for the International AGF Awards 2026
Huge big up to the finalists for the International AGF Awards 2026, sponsored by Skydiamond! This year, 28 events, venues, and innovators from 14 countries have made it to the shortlist.
Our awards are presented across ten vital sustainability categories – including power, water, food, and travel – with the top accolades of International Greener Festival Award and International Greener Arena Award 2026. The awards celebrate the most innovative and greenest events, venues, and organisations from across the globe over the last 12 months. The ceremony, hosted by artist Madame Gandhi, Ash Perrin (Flying Seagulls Project), and AGF’s CEO Claire O’Neill, will take place on 24th February as the closing event of the Green Events & Innovations Conference, which takes place at the Royal Lancaster London.
Our CEO, Claire O’Neill said:
“We’re super impressed by the groundbreaking and tireless work that the events community has delivered over the last 12 months. Considering the current global state of affairs, making space for creative and caring communities striving for a better, greener future has never been more welcome and necessary. Congrats to all of this year's participants.”
