Matthew Bongiovi and Vincenzo Rizzo, owners of Elements, The Lounge, Sea Bright, were recently named winners of the 2004 Concept of the Year award by Nightclub & Bar Magazine.

The award will be presented at the 37th annual International Nightclub & Bar/Food & Beverage Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas.

Elements was open only three months when the magazine made its decision on the award.

The award was based on several factors including venue concept in terms of design, decor and atmosphere; concept in terms of operations; music and ambiance; patron feedback; and position in relation to other venue styles in the industry.
