Why enter the Unicorn Awards?

The events industry knows numerous competitions that reward the best events, including Bea World Festival, Eventex, and others. Yet, none is quite like the Unicorn Awards. Thanks to a transparent decision-making process in which all jury votes are equal, the competing events are assessed objectively and fairly. In addition, all finalists have the opportunity to exchange knowledge with fellow event organisers, seasoned Unicorn Hunters, and creative thinkers at Conventa Crossover, the annual festival of events hosted in Ljubljana. 

If you believe your event exceeded the confines of a dull meeting and deserves to be crowned a “unicorn”, this competition is the right fit for you.
