Aberdeen's Festival of Light has won a Scottish events award at The Drum Scottish Event Awards 2017.

SPECTRA 2017, Aberdeen's Festival of Light, won large event of the year and team of the year at the awards ceremony on Wednesday night .

Last year, SPECTRA was nominated for three awards, finally walking away with Festival of the Year 2016.

SPECTRA is produced by Curated Place for Aberdeen City Council and supported by Event Scotland and Creative Scotland.

Local and international artists create spectacular light installations across the city centre each February.

This year's festival was enjoyed by around 65,000 visitors across four days, which almost doubled the attendance of the 2016 festival.

Aberdeen City Council culture spokeswoman Marie Boulton said: "It is fantastic to have the growing success of SPECTRA recognised with another win from the Scottish Event Awards for the second year running.

"To win this award against such strong competition is an incredible example of how our staff, volunteers and our arts partner Curated Place work together in delivering such a unique festival for the people of Aberdeen and beyond.

"Our vision for SPECTRA is to be a signature cultural event for the region and further afield, which would showcase what Aberdeen can offer as a contemporary city with a strong events programme combined with cultural heritage."
