"We’ve chosen the theme of Unity for the DJ Awards 2024 reboot with the launch of our Best Dancefloor Memory user generated competition, which will see everyone everywhere share their top memories,” says DJ Awards head honcho Andy Grant.

“Our panel of judges will select someone from any corner of the globe to come to Ibiza and collect a genuine DJ Award that they can keep on the mantelpiece forever.”

Elsewhere, DJ Awards will also recognise industry figures with awards for one ‘Ibiza icon’ who has “left an indelible mark on the island’s rich club culture”, and other recognitions going to festivals, parties, and a community award.
