ANDMORE has announced a reimagined Best Booth Awards program to recognize excellence across six categories of visual merchandising at its Atlanta, Las Vegas and High Point campuses beginning in 2024. The awards will highlight temporary exhibitors for exemplary displays, based on merchandising, storytelling, brand identity, color and interactivity.
“ANDMORE’s new Best Booth Awards encourage brands to delve into creative approaches for design and display,” says Karen Olson, ANDMORE executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “These awards not only celebrate visual brilliance and cohesive storytelling, but also illuminate imaginative merchandising. We expect the winners to be inspirational and aspirational for buyers and sellers at our markets.”
