After an overwhelming response from ESA members and the wider sponsorship community, the 2020 ESA Awards ceremony has completely sold out.
More than 400 sponsorship and sports marketing leaders will come together to celebrate Europe’s best sponsorship campaigns at the 13th annual ESA Awards ceremony next Wednesday, 26 February.
Held at The Brewery in central London, the 2020 ESA Awards gala will see more winners than ever before, with prizes across 30 categories.
Many of the biggest brands, agencies and rights holders in Europe will compete for the most prestigious categories in sponsorship, including Agency of the Year, ESA Sponsorship of the Year and the invitation-only ESA Best of Europe, drawn from national winners from a dozen national sponsorship association awards.

Hosted by international rugby star and businesswoman Sene Naoupu, the ceremony will also welcome a number of celebrities and sporting personalities.
Winners will be chosen by a rigorous, two-step judging process overseen by a 40-person judging panel of sport, media, arts, culture and entertainment leaders from ten nations. Head here for a video explaining more about how the ESA Awards are judged.
ESA Awards committee Chair, Jackie Fast, said:
The ESA Awards are getting bigger and better every year, and 2020 is no exception. A sold-out ceremony is testament to the strength of the European sponsorship industry, and we look forward to celebrating some amazing campaigns on the night. With a record number of attendees, more awards than ever and an incredible shortlist, the 2020 ESA Awards ceremony is going to be an incredible evening!”
