The Future Festival award was handed over to Nora Kiil representing Tromsø World against the festive backdrop of Budapest Ritmo. The festival was selected for being ‘a sustainable arena for multicultural art and cultural communication, emphasizing the social value and the benefits of a vibrant and visible cultural diversity with artists from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, North of Norway and Sápmi.’

“We’re absolutely thrilled to win the Upbeat Future Festival Award—it feels like we just scored the eco-friendly equivalent of a standing ovation! At Tromsø World, our mission is to smash cultural borders with music, art, and a healthy dose of humor, all while keeping Mother Nature in mind. Our values? Diversity, creativity, and a commitment to sustainability that proves you can dance your way to a greener future.”
– Vasil Gjuroski, festival director at Tromsø World
A loud ‘Amen!’ from the platform, and congratulations to the winners.
