DSE, the world’s largest tradeshow for digital display, interactive technology solutions and digital out-of-home networks, is now accepting nominations for its 15th Annual APEX Awards.

Designed to recognize and honor achievement in the installation of digital displays and interactive technology and the creation of compelling viewer content, the DSE APEX Awards have honored hundreds of companies for their innovation throughout the years.

“The most exciting part about DSE is seeing the advancements in Digital Signage technology,” Andrea Varrone, DSE’s Show Director, said. “The APEX Awards showcase the very best installations that continue to come to life around the globe.”

The APEX Awards will be presented to three outstanding entries – Gold, Silver and Bronze – in a total of nine categories. Additionally, two overall winners will receive the APEX Installation of the Year and APEX Content of the Year awards. Categories include Arts, Entertainment & Recreation; Business & Government Services; Education & Healthcare; Event Venues & Hospitality; Food & Beverage; Immersive Environments; Public Spaces; Retail; and Transportation.

To qualify, nominees must have a new or current digital signage or interactive technology program installed between Nov. 1, 2016, and Oct. 31, 2017. Updated content for existing digital signage installations that began running during the same time period will also qualify. The deadline to submit entries is Nov. 13, 2017. Additional information and entry forms are available here.

The nominating companies can be the venues themselves, the technology providers that provided the installation hardware and software, the architects and design firms who conceived the project, as well as the system integrators who did the installation. A single company is permitted to submit multiple nominations for separate projects. The cost to enter the DSE APEX Awards is $145USD per entry if submitted by midnight EDT Aug 11, 2017. Thereafter, the cost per entry is $195USD.

The 2018 awards program will be held Wednesday March 28 from 5-7 p.m. during DSE’s free networking reception at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
