OUTSTANDING ECONOMIC IMPACT

 

 

Open to: Host Destinations & Rights Holders 

 

This award recognises events that delivered clear economic value through visitor spend, job creation, and business growth. Judges will consider how investment was used and the event’s lasting contribution to the host’s economy, tourism, and global profile.

 

 

Entries will be judged by these criteria:

 

  • Direct Economic Outcomes: What financial impact did your event generate through visitor spend, job creation, business growth or investment? 
  • Funding & Delivery Models: How were public and/or private investments structured and what was their economic value?  
  • Legacy Impact: What long-term economic benefits are being realised (e.g. tourism, infrastructure, international positioning)?
