EEMA Zonal Spotlight Awards

The Event and Entertainment Management Association (EEMA) has announced that the Zonal Spotlight Awards 2020 ceremony will be held virtually across all zones on January 20, 2021. The Zonal Spotlight Awards 2020 is chaired by Himanshu Shah and co-chaired by Vinod Janardhan under the leadership of Roshan Abbas, President, EEMA.   

The first edition of Zonal Spotlight Awards 2020 has been designed to recognize best practices, original ideas, top technologies and innovations by the service providers and partners of the events industry. With the idea of broad-basing engagement with the larger events ecosystem, the concept for the awards originated in late 2019 and included the regional context. 

Despite the pandemic uncertainty in the industry, Zonal Spotlight Awards gained an overwhelming response with more than 1700+ entries in over 53 categories across all the zones. EVENTFAQS Media is an exclusive media and associate partner to this event. 

The Jury for the awards consisted of pioneers from the events and experiential industry. The prelims jury included Shiva Sureka, RiteshSethi, Sujit Kumar, Shaleen Kapoor, Kiran Shetty, Rahul Soni, Mushtaq Ali, Nehal Shah, Tapas Mohanty, Gautam Jain, Dr Meenakshi Anantram, and Jacob Santosh. The final jury was led by Lalit Gattani, and included Rituraj Khanna, Sunil Kutty Menon, Mahavir Sharma and Sonu Nanda.

The evaluation of the entries was based on a specially designed rating system on three key criteria - Concept and Creativity, Planning and Execution  and Effectiveness and Result.

Roshan Abbas, President, EEMA, said, “We value everyone at each level in this diverse events universe. With the Zonal Spotlight Awards, we look forward to building an inclusive, sustainable and diverse ecosystem for the events and entertainment industry in India with focus on high-level of business best practices and fostering professional relationships that are ethical and driven by quality of service.”

Himanshu Shah, Chair, Zonal Spotlight Awards, said, “All kinds of agencies, either large or small, are a part of the events ecosystem, who need continuous support and recognition. Our aim with Zonal Spotlight Awards is to identify such players in each zone and provide them with an opportunity of recognition of their hard work, quality and creativity.” He added, “Such initiatives give a boost to these partners and also help them increase their brand value and growth.”

Vinod Janardhan, Co-Chair, Zonal Spotlight Awards, added, “Zonal Spotlight Awards is the most essential accolade in the world of events. It represents outstanding achievements, top quality services, and fascinating creativity in producing cutting-edge event experiences. It is more of recognizing excellence than a competition. We strive to promote your creativity to the events world. So, no matter if you win or not, we make sure your work and name get the recognition it deserves.”
