The awards are open to all PLASA Show 2020 exhibitors. All exhibiting companies will be notified when the awards open for submissions.
Entry for the 2020 Innovation Awards will open soon...
HOW THE AWARDS WORK
All successfully vetted products are judged against one another on the strength of their innovation alone – there are no product categories.
The judging panel will have eight awards of equal standing at their disposal, plus the option of making one or more a ‘Gold’ Award, for those products which stand out above the rest.
THE JUDGING PROCESS
Entrants must first submit an online form. Nominations are then vetted to ensure they meet the requirements of entry.
All successful nominees must make a five minute presentation to the judges who will visit their stand at the show. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on the Monday evening at the show – times to be confirmed.
