The wide-ranging exposure and communication of the selected award winners also promotes their sales success in the retail sector.

Two new divisions were added to the ISPO AWARD in 2013: Asian Products and Communication. Asian Products offers companies from the Asian continent a neutral environment in which they can have an international jury evaluate their products.

The ISPO AWARD Communication is ISPO’s way to honor sportsrelated communication projects, which have a considerable impact on the market.

The entry deadline for the ISPO AWARD Communication is on October 4th, 2013. Companies interested in competing for the ISPO AWARD Products and ISPO AWARD Asian Products may submit their products until January 10th, 2014.
