“The caliber of these stands was off the charts,” said Travis Stanton, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “Given the global reach of this show, these winners are akin to Olympic medalists in experiential design.”
All EuroShop exhibitors were automatically entered into the competition, which was sponsored by the International Federation of Exhibition and Event Services (IFES). EXHIBITOR staff selected up to 10 finalists in each category, and an international panel of design experts scored finalists to identify the aforementioned winners and honorable mentions.
Finalists were honored on the show floor with plaques and were automatically eligible for the People's Choice Award. Between Monday, Feb. 17, and Wednesday, Feb. 19, visitors to www.ExhibitorOnline.com/VoteEuroShop voted for their favorite designs. The project with the most votes was named the People’s Choice Award winner, and the stand with the second-highest point total received an honorable mention. All winners and honorable-mention recipients were announced and awarded with trophies during a ceremony on Wednesday, Feb. 19, on the Expo + Event Stage in Hall 4 at the show.
