We said it would be the north’s biggest gathering of the creative and media industries this year – and we’re pleased to say we weren’t wrong.
With 48 hours still to go to the main event, over 550 people have now bought tickets for the first ever Prolific North Awards.
The Point at Lancashire Cricket Club, the venue for the night, is all set to be thronging with the great and the good of our creative and media sectors on a scale unseen anywhere else in 2013.
In fact, demand for tickets has been so high that we have had to move the DJ set – to be hosted by former Inspiral Carpets legend Clint Boon – to the first floor.
Our shortlisted nominees are getting nervous, our sponsors – led by headline sponsor Melbourne – are ready, and our hosts – broadcasting legend Jim Hancock and North West Tonight’s Beccy Meehan – are poised.
