For the third year running, Fruit Attraction will present the Best Stand Awards<\/b>, sponsored by WAH Show<\/b>. The awards recognize the stands that stick out for their creativity, design and commitment to sustainability across four categories: Most Original Stand<\/b>, Best Stand Design<\/b>, Most Sustainable Stand<\/b> and Visitors’ Favorite Stand<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Once again, Fruit Attraction is launching the Innovation Hubs Awards<\/b>, which will reward the best project, product or service for the industry, always assessing the criteria of innovation, sustainability, applied technology and knowledge.<\/b> As in previous years, all the entries will be exhibited in the<\/b> Innovation Hub<\/b> area<\/b> over the three days of the fair.<\/p>\n
