Fitur 2024 Awards

Best Booth Awards

FITUR wishes to recognize the effort and talent of exhibiting companies and organizations through these "Best Stand" awards, which are given, at the discretion of a committee made up of experts in marketing, image, ephemeral architecture and communication, to stands that stand out for their adaptation to the marketing needs of the product presented, the identification of the design with the image and brand of the company and its products.

Originality and innovative aspects.

That is to say, in assigning the prizes, the construction of the stand, its shapes, materials and innovative aspects, its design to impact the public and represent the identity of the exhibiting company or entity and its structure to enable the proper functioning of the stand in the tasks of the fair are taken into account. The members of the committee go through the entire fair and choose the stands that, in their opinion, deserve to be highlighted with these "Best Stand" awards that FITUR grants in recognition of their work.
