Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions govern participation in the ORGATEC India 2026 - WorkNXT Exhibitor Excellence Awards.

  1. Eligibility

    The awards are open exclusively to exhibitors participating in ORGATEC India 2026. Only products, solutions, concepts and workplace innovations physically showcased at the exhibition will be considered for evaluation.

  2. Award Categories & Nominations

    Exhibitors can submit nominations under the following five categories only:

    1. Best Product Design
    2. Best WorkNXT Theme Representation
    3. Best Sustainable Solutions
    4. Best Technology
    5. Best Human-centric Experience

    The People’s Choice Award and Jury Choice Award are special recognition categories and do not require a separate exhibitor nomination. These awards will be determined independently through visitor voting and jury selection, respectively.

  3. Nomination Submission

    All nominations must be submitted through the official online nomination form within the stipulated submission deadline. Each nomination must include relevant product/solution details, a brief description and supporting photographs or other material, wherever applicable.

  4. Multiple Nominations

    Exhibitors may submit nominations in multiple categories, provided their products or solutions meet the respective category criteria.

    However, an exhibitor can receive recognition in only one of the first five nomination-based award categories, even if multiple nominations are submitted or shortlisted.

    This restriction applies only to the first five nomination-based categories and does not apply to the People’s Choice Award and Jury Choice Award.

  5. Onsite Evaluation & Judging

    The evaluation of all five nomination-based award categories will take place onsite during ORGATEC India 2026, on Day 2 of the exhibition.

    • The jury panel will evaluate the nominated products and solutions based on their actual presentation and display at the exhibitor's booth.
    • Only products, solutions and concepts physically available and showcased at the exhibition will be considered for evaluation.
    • Products or solutions that are not available for onsite assessment during the jury's visit will not be considered for evaluation.
    • Evaluation will be based on category-specific parameters, including design, innovation, functionality, sustainability, technology integration, human-centric approach and overall relevance to the respective award category.
  6. Jury Conduct & Fair Evaluation

    All participating exhibitors are expected to maintain professional conduct during the jury's visit on Day 2 of the exhibition.

    Exhibitors shall not attempt to influence, manipulate or unduly persuade any jury member during the evaluation process. The jury's assessment must remain independent, impartial and based solely on the merits of the nominated products, solutions and their presentation at the exhibition.

  7. Winner Selection & Recognition

    For the first five nomination-based award categories, the jury panel will select the following recognitions in each category:

    • Winner
    • 1st Runner-up
    • 2st Runner-up

    The selection will be based on the jury's independent evaluation of the nominated entries against the respective category criteria.

    For the special recognition categories:

    • People's Choice Award: Three winners will be selected based on visitor voting during the exhibition. Visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their preferred exhibitors through the designated voting mechanism.
    • Jury Choice Award: Three winners will be independently selected by the appointed jury panel based on their overall merit, excellence and contribution to the workplace industry. No separate exhibitor nomination is required for this category.

    The restriction of one award per exhibitor under the first five nomination-based categories does not apply to the two special recognition categories. An exhibitor may receive recognition under these categories in addition to any recognition received under the nomination-based categories.

  8. People's Choice Award - Visitor Voting

    The People's Choice Award will be determined exclusively through visitor voting during ORGATEC India 2026.

    • Visitors can cast their votes through the designated voting mechanism announced during the exhibition.
    • Each eligible visitor will be permitted to vote as per the prescribed voting process.
    • The three exhibitors receiving the highest valid votes will be recognised as winners.
    • The voting process will remain separate from the nomination and jury evaluation process for the other award categories.
  9. Award Announcement

    The winners across all seven award categories will be announced on Day 3 of ORGATEC India 2026 at 2:00 PM at the exhibition hall.

  10. Use of Submitted Materials

    By submitting a nomination, exhibitors grant permission for the use of their submitted descriptions, photographs, videos, company names, product details and related information for award-related publicity, marketing, promotional activities and post-event communication across ORGATEC India's communication channels.

  11. Acceptance of Terms & Conditions

    Submission of a nomination shall be considered as confirmation that the exhibitor has read, understood and agreed to abide by all the terms and conditions governing the ORGATEC India 2026 - WorkNXT Exhibitor Excellence Awards.
