Fastaval exists thanks to a diverse and dedicated group of organisers who work hard every year to create an amazing experience for all participants and contribute to an indispensable organiser community. Whether behind the scenes or on the front line, each organiser helps in their own way to make Fastaval special. Otto's Medal of Merit is an award that aims to recognise the work of organisers and highlight those who have made a special contribution in their field, spread good vibes and been a role model for Fastaval's sustainable community of organisers. The award is given solely for each year's work.
How Otto's Medal of Merit is awarded
During Fastaval, organisers can nominate their co-organisers for the award by contacting Information. Sunday at Fastaval, the main organiser team will review all nominations and select one winner and a number of ‘honourable mentions’. The award will be officially presented during the Otto Show on Sunday evening, where the recipients will be recognised for their great contribution to Fastaval.
The motivation behind the award
Otto's Medal of Merit is inspired by the Golden Plunger, which honours participants who go the extra mile. With this award, the main organising group wants to create a similar recognition for the organisers who make Fastaval work. We hope that the award can help to highlight and appreciate the hard work that the organisers put into creating Fastaval year after year.
