The European Poker Awards event is going to be held on March 25th at the Portomaso Marina Hilton Hotel, St. Julian’s in Malta.
This will be the fourteenth consecutive year when the prestigious event will take place but the curious thing is that this will be the first time when Malta will play host to it.
The European Poker Awards are given in order to give recognition to players who had defeated tough opponents and emerged victorious from various big poker events. Industry operators as well as people who have somehow contributed to the popularization of the poker game over the year will also be honored.
The winners are determined by a specially selected jury as well as by an expert nomination panel. According to many people interested in the European Poker Awards, the most prestigious award is Player of the Year and the nominees and at a later stage the winner will be chosen depending on the Year leaderboard scores. The organizers of the event want to ensure complete transparency so everyone is welcome to visit the official page if they want to become aware of the requirements and the members of the jury.
As for the categories in which awards are to be given, they are GPI Player of the Year, Breakout Player of the Year, Tournament Performance of the Year, GPI Female Player of the Year, Poker Innovation, Event of the Year, Charitable Initiatives, Media Person of the Year, Poker’s Best Ambassador, Industry Person of the Year, Poker Media Content of the Year and last but not least, the jury will determine who deserves to get the award for a Lifetime Poker Achievement.
Actually, those who happen to visit the Portomaso Casino will be given the chance to attend another interesting poker-related event. It became clear that the Global Poker Conference will take place on the same day as the Awards.
During the GPI Conference everyone, who is somehow involved in the poker industry will have the opportunity of becoming familiar with the latest poker trends. The future of the Live Poker Ecosystem will also be among the hot topics that are to be discussed.
The one-day conference that is expected to be visited by key figures in the European poker sector.
Everyone who is willing to attend the Conference or the European Poker Awards or both should submit a special form and receive an approval that they are eligible for attending the events. However, the demand is high and the maximum number of guests is 200, so if someone who confirms that they are going to attend the event(s) but do not go, their wish to visit an event of this kind will be discarded in future.
