D
atateam Business Media, the publisher of Park World Magazine, has announced the launch of the Park World Excellence Awards. Designed to celebrate brilliance across the European attractions scene and put the
ultimate power in the hands of its industry, entries are now open online at
www.parkworldexcellenceawards.com Recognising the industry’s exceptional parks, rides, experiences and
attractions, the inaugural Awards provides a dynamic platform for the continent’s leading park operators, suppliers, manufacturers and entertainment specialists. “Above all, the Park World Excellence Awards is a celebration of the
innovators and creative leaders that make this industry go around,” says Bryony Andrews, editor of Park World Magazine, one of the theme park industry’s original trade titles. Those who wish to put themselves in the running for an accolade are invited to
visit the Park World Excellence Awards website now and submit an entry via the simple online form. “Our aim is to reflect cutting edge projects in parks across Europe over the
past year,” adds Andrews. “With a range of different categories to encompass the diverse market, I am confident the Awards will recognise ingenuity and reward distinction across our industry – celebrating those who are pushing it forward.”
How it works The awards are split into three sections: The ‘Park’ awards will honour the stand-out theme parks, family parks,
waterparks and family entertainment centres across Europe, including separate categories to highlight this year’s top seasonal event and the best new in-park show or spectacular. Covering everything from roller coasters to flat or spinning rides, water rides
and waterslides, the ‘Ride/Attraction’ awards will showcase the industry’s innovation and imagination. Categories in this area also include ‘Media-based Attraction of the Year’, which will celebrate the best new 3D/4D/VR/AR experience, and ‘Themed Attraction of the Year’, commending a ride that has been elevated through theming to become more than just a ride system. The ‘General’ awards meanwhile, will recognise inventive products and
application of technology (through ‘Best Ticketing & Access Control Product’ and ‘Best use of Technology’), as well as those who have gone above and beyond in the quest for excellence: the ‘Industry Icon’ award will acknowledge a special individual who has served the European attractions industry with distinction. Operators, suppliers and manufacturers may enter into any of the relevant
categories online, via the dedicated Park World Excellence Awards website – for free! They can also nominate other companies and individuals for any of the awards using the same easy online form. Following this secure online entry and nomination process, a panel of expert
judges will select five finalists in each award category to proceed to the voting stage. From these shortlists, those who attract the most votes during the industry- only voting process will be declared the winners. Winners will be revealed in Amsterdam on 26 September 2018.
