A NEW WAY TO RECOGNIZE OUR PARTNERS
SUMMER 2026
To further celebrate the contributions of all our exhibiting brands, we have transformed our awards program to recognize the creativity and ingenuity of this industry. NY NOW’s Innovation & Impact Awards gives our community an opportunity to showcase their products.
NY NOW exhibitors are eligible to enter their products for consideration in three categories:
- Sustainability & Social Impact
- Trailblazer
- Emerging Brand
Each entry costs $25. The submissions will be judged by a jury of esteemed experts from across the industry. The top three finalists in each award category will be displayed at the upcoming Summer Market and the winners of each category will receive a $500 discount on their booth at the subsequent market.
