EVENTFAQS Media is pleased to announce the launch of the WOW Live Awards, a dedicated awards platform created to celebrate excellence in India’s fast-growing live entertainment and touring ecosystem. The inaugural edition of the WOW Live Awards will debut at the sixth edition of Shows of India, the country’s definitive gathering for leaders, creators and innovators in live events.
For over a decade, the WOW Awards has recognised outstanding work across Live, Weddings, Corporate Events and MICE, becoming one of the region’s most respected platforms for experiential excellence. As each of these sectors evolves with its own momentum and scale, EVENTFAQS Media is refining and strengthening its awards architecture to ensure sharper industry alignment.
The newly introduced WOW Live Awards will celebrate the creators shaping India’s live entertainment economy — including touring IPs, concerts, festivals, artist-led formats, venue-driven experiences, and the technical and production teams that power them. In this enhanced structure, the WOW Awards will continue to honour exceptional achievements in Weddings, Corporate Experiences and MICE, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to these sectors.
Speaking about the launch, Jimmy Choudhary, Director, EVENTFAQS Media, said, “The live entertainment landscape in India has transformed in extraordinary ways. Shows of India has emerged as the definitive meeting ground for the people shaping this industry, and introducing the WOW Live Awards at its sixth edition is a natural and timely progression. This new platform allows us to recognise creators and teams behind India’s concerts, festivals, tours and live IPs with the depth and clarity they deserve.
At the same time, the WOW Awards continues its strong focus on Weddings, Corporate Events and MICE — areas where it has long set the benchmark. Together, these awards complement each other and reaffirm our commitment to championing every dimension of the experiential economy.”
The launch of the WOW Live Awards reflects the increasing scale, professionalism and creative ambition of India’s live entertainment ecosystem. The categories have been thoughtfully designed to mirror real industry formats and capacity segments, ensuring that promoters, producers, creative innovators, and technical specialists are recognised in ways that resonate with the realities and rigour of the live business.
With this addition, EVENTFAQS Media strengthens its mission to spotlight the full breadth of the experiential sector — offering deeper relevance, sector-specific appreciation and a future-focused vision for one of India’s most dynamic industries. Nominations and the complete category list for the WOW Live Awards will be announced on December 15, 2025. The awards presentation will take place at Shows of India, scheduled for May 2026.
