The result has now been announced: 42 products and campaigns claimed the coveted industry prize. Once again the competition demonstrated how creatively corporate messages can be conveyed using haptic advertising

There are seven categories: Give-aways, Communicative Products, Custom-made Designs, Best Practice, Merchandising, Premium Products and Customising Technologies. The winners were determined by a point-awarding system. This year a high number of custom-made designs were able to convince the jury members. Furthermore, a special prize was awarded to the promotional products collection of Dicke & Partner that was developed for the insurance company, Continentale Versicherung.
