If you have difficulty in allocating the entry to a specific category and several options are possible, we ask you to first define one category for your application, as it is not possible to allocate an entry to several categories.

The panel of judges reserves the right to adjust the category at a later stage if necessary.

Yes, it is possible to enter several products.

However, every entry requires a separate registration, and a submission fee is payable for every entry because each product undergoes a separate evaluation process.

If a joint project is entered, the names of all the partners involved (e.g. manufacturers or designers) must be provided during the registration process. Partnerships can additionally be noted in the required documents (e.g. a PDF with all the relevant information).

During the registration process, it is first necessary to send a product description in writing together with three to five digital images.
Entries are then briefly checked, and a confirmation e-mail is sent out containing a link, which can be used to upload the product presentation.
It is important to note that the product description and information provided will also be used for the award exhibition and in the media.

All documents must be submitted in full by April 17, 2026 at the latest.

Both the product description and the product presentation should offer a clear and concise representation of the product, containing all the important information but without going into excessive detail.

This presentation is intended as a further basis for the assessment and should contain additional information to supplement the product description.

Items to consider are:

• What is the idea behind the product?
• What makes it special?
• A description of the design or the functionality (according to the focus).
• If the focus is on sustainability, appropriate information must be included.

Confidential information is not forwarded to outside parties, particularly when it concerns products still in the development stage. If the company submitting an entry so wishes, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) can additionally be drawn up as a further guarantee of confidentiality.

After passing the preliminary assessment, the product must be sent in between 4 May and May 15, 2026 at the latest. Further details will be supplied after the first meeting of the judges. The company submitting the entry bears the shipping costs.

The information is supplied a few days after the panel of judges has met, which takes place from 20 to 21 May 2026.

Allocation of the awards is accompanied by notification of whether a Gold, Start-up or Green Award has been presented.

If your product receives an award, it remains in Frankfurt until the trade fair at the end of June and is prepared for the presentation. The stand constructor takes charge of preparation for the exhibition.

If the product does not receive an award, it must be collected within a prescribed time limit. Detailed information on this will be made available later.

The shipping costs for sending in and returning the product must be paid by the company submitting the entry.
