The ICON awards gala is a highly anticipated event every year in Denver that honors the best and brightest professionals in the special events industry. Every year since 1999, individuals and companies who are involved in the production of special events, have been invited to submit entries to Confetti magazine of their most outstanding achievements during the year.

Entries are taken to Aspen where a panel of judges carefully evaluate each one to select award finalists in 13 categories. Finalists are chosen based on creativity, originality, and overall integration of elements and execution of an event or service.

Many of our StudioWed vendors are recognized as finalists for this year’s ICON awards which takes place on March 9th.  You can find these vendors and their events featured in the 2012 issue of Confetti magazine. Here are the StudioWed vendor finalists:
