Outdoor products to vie for ISPO award recognition
18/03/2019
This new trade show was created after the European Outdoor Group (EOG) selected Messe München as the new organiser of the exhibition, which had long taken place in Friedrichshafen, on the shores of Lake Constance.
At its first edition this summer, the first OutDoor by ISPO awards will be handed out. They have been adapted specifically for the outdoor industry.
The organisers have said that, like the original ISPO award, the OutDoor version will serve as a guide for retailers, consumers and media representatives. They will recognise the inventiveness of products as well as the idea and craftsmanship behind them. Products from all outdoor segments are eligible.
A Gold Winner will be selected in each category according to the criteria of innovation, design, function and quality. One to two Winners will also be named. Products that are “pacesetting” will receive the Outstanding label.
The nomination period for the ISPO Award OutDoor Edition will begin on April 1. The deadline is on May 17. The winners will be selected by an independent jury made up of specialist retailers, designers, market specialists, journalists, consumers and athletes.
