Almost 8,000 votes were registered with nominations for over 300 female crew members throughout Europe – with CVs ranging from The Cure, Simply Red, and Rammstein, representing firms such as Britannia Row Prodictions, Neg Earth, and Ginger Owl Productions, among others.

In addition, engineers and technicians were nominated for their work on large-scale festival sites such as Denmark’s Northside, Germany’s Lollapalooza and Glastonbury, and more.

“A big congrats to all nominees, this is a great sign of more diversity backstage!” WILM co-founder, Malle Haas told TPi.
