The jury has concluded its deliberations and selected the winning projects. This year's edition of the competition has only confirmed what we at PCEI have long known: Polish stand-building companies are among the very best in Europe.
From dozens of entries submitted, the experts selected projects that set quality standards and show the direction in which modern exhibition design is heading. The winners are companies that have perfectly combined design with modern technology and a response to the needs of modern marketing and brand communication strategy.
The Exhibition of the Year competition is a test of the industry's condition. We can see that companies are opting ever more boldly for modern communication systems and innovative solutions. This is no longer just “building stands” – it is about creating intelligent spaces, refined in every respect, that stop visitors in their tracks and make a huge impression on them.
Architecture in the service of marketing strategy
Trade fairs have long ceased to be merely a space for business meetings – today they are an advanced marketing instrument. For this reason, the competition's assessment of the submitted projects went far beyond purely aesthetic criteria.
The expert Jury thoroughly analysed this year's entries, and the Winners selected are those who best understood this relationship, managing to translate business values into the language of space and to create a coherent, effective message for the audience.
“We were looking for projects that not only catch the eye, but also build a real competitive advantage for the exhibitor through intelligent design and technology,” says a member of the Jury.
The Jury unanimously emphasises that the standard of the exhibitions presented is rising steadily year after year. This reflects the continuous development of the Polish industry and the growing innovativeness of exhibitors, who are turning ever more boldly to solutions in the fields of technology and sustainable design.
The list of winners is proof of how creative and professional our designers and stand builders are. It is thanks to them that the Polish exhibition industry is the leader in this part of Europe.
Our warmest congratulations to all the award-winning designers, exhibitors and stand builders!
We warmly invite you to take a look at the winning projects:
