Innovation Awards
The blooloop Innovation Awards celebrates the extraordinary energy, ingenuity, and creativity that fuels the attractions industry.
The awards include 16 categories, from brand realisation, to creative technology, and sustainability. Winners are selected by a judging panel which includes thought leaders and industry experts from some of the world’s top visitor attractions. They look for the most creative products and ideas that will shape the future of the visitor experience.
“Studying the Innovation Awards is like having your eyeballs spanked with a brilliant future,” says Sam Bompas, director of Bompas & Parr. Bompas judged the 2023 Awards and has returned for 2024. He added that they “pay careful attention to the Innovation Awards as it defines the industry of tomorrow.”
blooloop thanks the sponsors of the Innovation Awards, AREA15, and the Innovation Award category sponsors, Attractions.io, Blue Telescope, Christie, Kingsmen Xperience Inc., TAIT, and The Games Arena.
