Enter the awards

The awards are open to all PLASA Show 2021 exhibitors. All exhibiting companies will be notified when the awards open for submissions.

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.
