The 2017 Bright European Skateboard Awards are ON! Public voting starts December 19!

Five years after the inaugural Bright European Skateboard Awards ceremony in Berlin, the BESAs will be back in a few weeks: Initiated by Bright Tradeshow, and presented together with Vans, Budweiser Budvar and Free Skate magazine, the sixth installment of Europe’s leading industry award will go down at Berlin’s Astra Kulturhaus on January 17, 2017. Celebrating the people who make European skateboarding happen for the sixth time, the 2017 BESAs are going to be awarded in 11 categories – for the first time including European Female Skater of the Year. As before, we want the public to cast their vote in various categories. Joined by a jury comprised of 150 professionals from the skateboard industry at large, public voting starts December 19 and runs thru December 23 – for the following six categories:

- European Skater of the Year
- European Female Skater of the Year
- Rookie of the Year
- Brand of the Year
- Video of the Year
- Shop of the Year

The following five awards will be handpicked exclusively by the jury:

- Photographer of the Year

We are looking forward to another epic night in Berlin.
