Applications open for new-look OutDoor Awards

14/03/2016
Applications are open for the OutDoor Industry Award 2016, which this year features a two-stage judging procedure and a category for start-ups.

The competition is open to all companies, even those not exhibiting at the German trade show in July, with organisers expecting an increase on the 329 products submitted last year.

Klaus Wellmann, CEO of show orgnaiser Messe Friedrichshafen, said: “Since its launch, the OutDoor Industry Award has become an important way of gauging the innovativeness of products. It really helps users and retailers to navigate their way through the industry’s vast range of products.

“The judges’ decisions also frequently serve as valuable initial feedback on the market potential of new products and technologies.”

OutDoor takes place between July 13 and 16 in Friedrichshafen.
