(Linz, November 27, 2017) Ars Electronica Solutions has taken the top prize in the AUSTRIACUS’ POINT OF SALE/TRADE SHOW ARCHITECTURE category for its design of Primetals Technologies’ interactive stand at METEC 2015. The jury praised Ars Electronica Solutions’ design as “a best-practice example of what’s happening in this field right now: the presentation stand morphing into a setting for an interactive experience.” Moreover, this concept is said to have raised the state-of-the-art in trade show stand design to a new level. This nationwide competition among Austrian advertising and marketing communication agencies premiered in 2017.
AUSTRIACUS 2017
AUSTRIACUS, the first nationwide competition honoring excellence in advertising, singled out 38 projects for recognition on November 22, 2017 at the Economic Chamber of Austria’s headquarters in Vienna. The recipients were selected by a 15-member jury from among 248 submissions in 12 categories. The criteria were creativity, strategy, originality, concept and execution. The medals came in gold, silver and bronze. Kreativwirtschaft Austria (representing this country’s creative economy) also sponsored an award in a special category, Innovative Advertising, for an outstanding campaign that makes possible crossover effects.
