The final list of the Greener Festival Award winners has been announced for 2009 and The Isle of Wight Festival has also been awarded 'Outstanding Festival 2009'. The Award is based on a 56 part questionnaire which covers office management, greenhouse gas emissions, supporting green initiatives, travel and transport, waste and recycling, water management, environmental protection and noise reduction and almost all the festivals receive a visit from an independent auditor to assess their green efforts.

The winner of the overall Greener Festival Award 2009 will be announced at the UK Festival Awards which will be held at the O2 Arena in London on November 19th 2009.
