When the "Makers and Shakers" of the industry gather, it's finally that time again: the winners of the ISPO Awards receive their trophies. Glasses clink, loud applause and a shrill "Whooo" here and there permeate the ISPO Award Exhibition Area as the 34 winners are announced. A special highlight: The Public Choice Award goes to Hezo Cycling. We have summarized the Award Gathering spectacle for you.

So, as Christina Rabl teased the ceremony, "So please everyone freak out, celebrate and get crazy!"

Strong female support

What's special this year: the jury will be supported by two movers and shakers from the industry. With Louisa Smith, the ISPO Award has a new sustainability check: all applications for an ISPO Award will now be subjected to an anti-greenwashing assessment by the renowned textile and industry expert. Among other things, she checks information on sustainability, finishing, manufacturing processes, recyclability and recyclability.

The ISPO Award now also has heavenly support from professional athlete Nadine Wallner. As an Award Angel, the Vorarlberg native represents the coveted quality seal as an ambassador.
