At a crucial time for the industry, The Creative Retail Awards is the ultimate celebration of innovation and excellence in retail, leisure and hospitality design. It allows retailers and creatives from around the world to compete for glory in a range of categories, culminating in a glittering awards presentation in London, a global hub for the creative industries.
Next Monday (22 July) will see the publication of the shortlisted entries for this year’s Creative Retail Awards.
Hundreds of entries in 22 categories have been pored over by this year’s panel of expert judges. Categories recognise excellence in specialist areas such as retail lighting and technology and in specific retail categories.
Prior to the 19 September announcement of the winners, and those which have been highly commended, the shortlist will now be made public.
As retail goes through its latest evolution, driven by changing customer demands and new technology, innovation and creativity has become an even more important factor in determining success.
“Retail may be struggling to address the challenges facing the sector, but these awards continue to reflect the high quality of creative responses to those challenges,” says retail designer David Dalziel, one of the judges this year.
