EXHIBITOR Magazine Announces Expo 2015 Award Winners
10/22/2015
For almost 30 years, EXHIBITOR magazine has brought you the world’s most prestigious exhibit-design competition, honoring the crème de la crème of trade show exhibits. Along those same lines, in 2010 and 2012, EXHIBITOR honored some of the most impressive temporary experiential structures the world has ever seen with its Expo Awards competitions in Shanghai, and Yeosu, South Korea, respectfully. Continuing that tradition, EXHIBITOR magazine launched its Expo 2015 Awards five months ago, and is finally ready to announce the winners and honorable mentions in the competition’s 11 categories. The purpose of this competition is to honor the most impressive work from Expo 2015 in Milan (aka Expo Milano) and to spotlight some of the incredible pavilions there, all brimming with inspiration for exhibit and event professionals. The competition netted a record number of entries from more than three dozen pavilions, representing countries from Spain to Switzerland, Germany to Japan, Estonia to Azerbaijan, Mexico to Malaysia, and many more. While a star-studded panel of multidisciplinary design, marketing, and communications experts judged nine categories (visit www.exhibitoronline.com/awards/expo for more on our judging panel), the Editor’s Choice Award was determined by the writers and editors of EXHIBITOR magazine, and the People’s Choice Award winner was determined by popular vote on www.ExhibitorOnline.com, where more than 100,000 readers and Expo enthusiasts cast their votes. “The Expo 2015 Award winners and honorable mentions represent some of the world’s best examples of how design, technology, presentation, and storytelling come together to create immersive experiences and effectively communicate compelling messages,” said Travis Stanton, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “These examples will hopefully inform and inspire today’s exhibit and event professionals — along with the next generation of face-to-face marketers. Because whether you’re creating an immense international pavilion or a small 10-by-10-foot exhibit, it’s often about making a lasting impression, and the work on display in Milan does that in truly monumental and memorable ways.” For the third consecutive Expo, the Germany Pavilion took top honors for Best Pavilion, followed by Austria and the United Arab Emirates who claimed honorable mentions in that category. In total, 23 different pavilions received recognition in this year’s competition, with the pavilions from Germany, Austria, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Mexico, and Kuwait earning high marks in multiple categories. So join us in congratulating EXHIBITOR Magazine’s Expo 2015 Award winners (listed below). After all, according to our judges, our readers, and our team of writers and editors, they are among the best the world (well, the World’s Expo, at least) has to offer. For more information on the winners of EXHIBITOR Magazine’s Expo 2015 Awards, watch for the December 2015 issue of EXHIBITOR magazine.
