The Ambassador Awards celebrated their tenth edition on 11 November at Boogaloo in Zagreb, handing out 28 prizes: 26 categories decided by public vote and an industry jury, plus two special awards for contribution to the scene. The night opened with a documentary on the project’s first decade, and live sets from Eleven Live, Neon Lies and Plazmatick ran between the presentations. Ten years after Klubska Scena started it, Ambassador established itself as the most prestigious award devoted entirely to electronic music in the region.
