Bluesfest 2017 has been nominated for two major awards

The organisers of Bluesfest were nominated for two major awards over the past few days.

Bluesfest 2017 scored a nod in the NSW Tourism Awards -- in the Major Festival and Events Category -- and in the UK Festival Awards, where they are nominated in the Best Overseas Festival, battling it out with other international heavywights such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza Berlin, and Roskilde Festival.

While those other festivals seem fun and all, we obviously want Bluesfest to beat them for the award, which is why we implore you to vote for them here.
