Entries For 2021 Global Digital Signage Awards Up 15% … Despite 2020

 

Overall entries are up 15% for the global Digital Signage Awards 2021, which has now closed submissions.

 

Entries from North America are up just over 20%. They tripled previous numbers from Australia and New Zealand and European entries overall are up 10%. 

 

“There is no doubt that the calibre/caliber of entries is high,” says Matthew Davies, founder of the awards, “and it has been a big relief to see that entries overall are up 15% on last year, after such a troubling period for business.”

 

Sixteen:Nine has been a main sponsor of the awards for several years now. This one is supported because the judges are credible, the submissions data don’t keep getting extended and extended, and wins are based on merit, not sponsorship or buying a full table at the big dinner. 

 

Judges for this year are being invited to take part, with their expertise balanced to reflect the nature of the entries received.

 

A short-list of Finalist companies will be announced at the end of October and Finalists will be able to display their Finalist logo online and in print as evidence of their progress through the judging.

 

Second stage judging will take place in late November/early December and Finalist companies will be asked to provide their 1,500-word extended submission papers no later than November 20, 2020.

 

Nominations for Outstanding Company or Individual, the category sponsored by Sixteen:Nine, must be received no later than December 10, 2020. Previous winners of that have included Burr Smith from Broadsign and Chris Riegel of STRATACACHE.
