The distinctly American biased Club World Awards will return to Miami this year for its fourth installment of recognizing the best clubs and lounges in North America as well as the people who help create the atmosphere within.
This years event will take place on Friday, March 24, 2006 on the roof top at Crobar 24 @ Nocturnal in downtown Miami. Categories include The “Best System” (sound, lighting, and video), “Best Product” (sound, lighting, video, DJ, effect and LED) and “Best Jockey” (disc, light and video) fields recognize the designers and operators of clubland’s future-forward gear; while “Best Party” honors the pavement-pounding promoters, and “Best Interior Design,” the flow-creating designers. There are 19 categories in all (full list below):
