Croatian Radio Festival

The Croatian Radio Festival (Croatian: Hrvatski Radijski Festival, abbreviated as HRF) was a music festival held annually in Croatia from 1997 to 2009. The festival was first held in 1997 in Vodice. It remained in Vodice until 2002, when it was held in Šibenik. After two years in Šibenik, Rijeka and Požega were co-hosts for the 2004 festival. In 2005 and 2006 it was held in Trogir, and in 2007 it was held in Hvar. In 2008 and 2009 it was held in Opatija. The festival was cancelled in 2010 due to financial problems and has been never organised since.[1]

The festival gave out several awards, its highest being the Grand Prix. Other awards were the First Award of the Radio Listeners, the First Award of the Music Editors, the 24 sata Readers' Award (The 24sata is a daily newspaper), the Award Based on the Number of Received Calls by Telephone and, finally, the Award Based on the Number of Internet votes.
