EXHIBITOR Magazine is proud to announce the winners of its EuroShop Awards, honoring excellence in trade show exhibit (stand) design at EuroShop 2011. Held once every three years, EuroShop sets the tone for the stand- and retail-design industries. Featuring inventive materials, unique concepts, and one-off creations, the trade fair offers endless inspiration — and some serious design eye candy — for exhibition and event professionals the world over.

The competition netted entries from companies based in Germany, France, Switzerland, the United States, the Netherlands, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Belgium. Entrants were invited to submit their EuroShop stands in one of three different categories: Best Small Exhibit (50 square meters or less), Best Medium Exhibit (51 to 275 square meters), or Best Large Exhibit (276 square meters or more). The entries were judged on site in Dusseldorf, Germany, by an eight-member international panel of design experts. For more information on our judging panel, visit here.

A “Best of Show” winner was named in each of the three categories, along with four Honorable Mentions. After tallying judges’ scores, representatives from EXHIBITOR presented the three Best of Show winners with custom-designed trophies at Messe Dusseldorf.

“At EuroShop, there are innovative ideas and stunning stands around every corner,” said Travis Stanton, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “Walking the show floors is both inspiring and overwhelming. But the winners of our EuroShop Awards were truly exceptional, and stood out amid the aisles thanks to clever concepts and spot-on execution. If, as we’ve seen in the past, the stands on display in Dusseldorf spark trends and reverberations until EuroShop 2014, our entire industry will be better because of it.”
