Without volunteers, the festival and events industry would come to a halt. All events – be they large, small, for profit or non-profit – utilize the services of many people who are dedicated to making their communities and our industry better. We want to recognize outstanding event volunteers whose unselfish and dedicated service to a member festival or event has made a significant difference in their community and mirrors the commitment to success in our professional ranks.

• Event (s) they have volunteered for
