UK festivals, from the smallest to the largest, will be hoping to be crowned the best of what this summer had to offer with gongs including Best New, Family and Dance Festivals up for grabs.

Artists are in the running too with all three Glastonbury headline acts - Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons in the running to scoop the Headline Performance of the Year gong.

Winners will be decided by the festival-loving public at an award ceremony at London’s Roundhouse on 2 December. To vote, visit festivalawards.com/vote

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UK Festival Awards, organisers are set to stage an exhibition of festival poster artwork from festivals spanning the past decade. Critically acclaimed contemporary artist and album cover designer Pete Fowler will curate the exhibition.

A selection of works will be on display at the Roundhouse and auctioned to raise money for Attitude is Everything, a charity which improves access to live music events for deaf and disabled people.

To submit artwork from the last 10 years visit festivalawards.com/apply before 21 October.
