BOSS Awards

This unofficial Best of Show program will recognize the best experiential exhibits from events such as the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

The Experiential Design Authority will host its first BOSS Awards (Best of Show Stand Awards) competition at the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This unofficial awards program highlights the most outstanding exhibits that elevate attendee engagement and push the boundaries of what is possible in exhibit design.

What We Recognize


Our BOSS Awards honor exhibits that demonstrate:

  • Creative Excellence: Unique and imaginative concepts brought to life through exceptional design.

  • Innovative Integration: Seamless incorporation of technology, storytelling, and interaction to captivate audiences.

  • Impact: The ability to create memorable, immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Why It Matters


CES represents the cutting edge of technology and innovation, and the BOSS Awards program showcases the experiential exhibits that match this spirit of progress. By spotlighting the best in the industry, we inspire designers, marketers, and brands to continue pushing the limits of experiential design.

Judging Process


All exhibits will be evaluated onsite, and a preliminary panel will select up to 30 finalists. Those finalists will then be scored by a panel of judges comprising members of our U.S. advisory board. All finalists will be recognized at an event hosted by Exhibit City News in Las Vegas, with the 10 highest-scoring exhibits receiving custom trophies. A separate award, the People's Choice Award, will be decided via popular vote on the Exhibit City News website and The Experiential Design Authority social media channels.

 

To ensure fairness and transparency:

  • Judges are not told which exhibit houses or agencies are behind the entries.

  • The highest and lowest scores are removed to avoid the impact of individual bias.

  • Cumulative scores will be shared with participants after the program.

Recognition and Awards

Finalists will be notified at CES 2025 and announced via a press release that will be posted on The Experiential Design Authority and Exhibit City News channels by Friday, January 10.

The top 10 exhibits will receive free custom trophies at an awards ceremony in Las Vegas, hosted by Exhibit City News. Following the event, a press release will be distributed announcing the winners, which will receive coverage in an issue of Exhibit City News, as well as online at The Experiential Design Authority and Exhibit City News outlets and social channels. All finalists will be invited to order trophies to commemorate their achievement.

Stay tuned as we unveil the finalists and winners who redefine the future of experiential design at CES 2025!
