Why Eventex Awards
Eventex Awards are the #1 global awards for events and experience marketing, making them the perfect industry awards choice for events, experiences, venues, event tech, and suppliers.
The Eventex Awards entry process is easy, smooth, and straightforward — cutting down time spent figuring out how to register for the awards and submit your entries.
The Eventex Awards evaluation process ensures objectivity, dispensing with both conflict of interest and unintentional bias. Additionally, entries are evaluated on their own merit.
What’s new
A new tiered pricing structure that makes entering the awards more affordable, while offering new premium opportunities for recognition for the truly exceptional.
A greater focus on objectivity with the removal of public entry feedback and individual scores enhancing the integrity of jury deliberation. All entries and overall scores, however, will be made public alongside the winners' announcement, reaffirming Eventex Awards’ commitment to transparency.
New Grand Prix categories in every track with limited availability, reserved for game-changing creativity that set the ultimate benchmark for excellence.
A category refresh to reflect the growing importance of sustainability, wellness, and attendee experience.
A complete revamp of supplier recognition with our new Event Production track, which lets suppliers showcase their work for a specific project, event, or experience.
