Apply now for the ISPO Award

With the ISPO Award, ISPO now honors the highlight products and services of the sports industry four times a year. A neutral jury of experts will evaluate all entries individually, based on criteria such as design, function, sustainability and innovation - but independent of any defined categories. Companies from the entire sports industry are welcome to participate, regardless of whether they are exhibiting at an ISPO trade show or not.

The new concept promises all winners even more benefits. All award-winning products and services will be exhibited at the next upcoming trade show and appear in the new ISPO Award Magazine, which will be given to every trade show visitor. In the case of an award, the award presentation will be combined with a product or service review on ISPO.com. Winners benefit from a target group-oriented targeting of this review and a targeted presentation on a desired date.

At the same time, the ISPO Award is becoming more flexible: From now on, it will be possible to apply for the award all year round. This also makes it possible to present the award throughout the year with four judgings per year. In addition, there are no longer different winner levels and category selection is no longer necessary.

OutDoor by ISPO will take place at the beginning of June 2022.

What does this mean for the ISPO Award?

Basically, nothing changes. The ISPO.com review articles (Native Article), will continue to be published the day after the embargo period expires and after prior approval by the Awardee. The submitter can determine the embargo period individually.

Award-winning products/services that are in the application run for Q4/2021 will be exhibited at OutDoor by ISPO 2022 in June, provided that the embargo period specified by the applicant expires before then.

The Q1 and Q2 2022 periods will be combined and Awardees will also be exhibited at OutDoor by ISPO 2022.

The fact that the ISPO Award is now awarded year-round gives you more flexibility. The next jury meetings with the respective application deadlines can be found here. 

After receiving your application, the jury will review all documents in the 1st judging and decide who may send their samples for the jury meeting. All applications that made it to the jury meeting will be notified immediately and asked to send in the sample or similar. To save you effort, please send us the samples only after explicit request.
