Grand Summit

The Grand Summit is the highest award given by WFEA in recognition of those Festival and Events who have a balance of all the elements necessary to ensure a successful event.

Award winners in each budget category will be selected based on the overall excellence of a festival and event as presented in their entries in all the other Summit Award categories.

Organizations must submit an entry in each of the three categories in order to be eligible

1. Collateral/printed materials

2. Marketing

3. Programming

Budget Categories

$150,000 and over

Please submit each entry in one of these event budget categories. Budgets should include the entire budget for the event that you are entering, including all in-kind services.
