There are now several innovation categories, which include:
- Machinery
- Hand tools
- Consumables
- Vehicles
- Environmental / Sustainability
- Information technology
- Equipment
- Robotics
Organisers say all submitted entries are evaluated by an independent panel of judges before a final shortlist is devised. The finalists will be announced in the lead-up to the show and the winners will be named in each and every category in a seminar theatre on the first day of SALTEX (3 November).
Visitors will get the chance to see every entry on the show floor. By referring to either the SALTEX website or the show guide, they can pin-point the innovations they want to see and make their way to the relevant stands.
Every innovation entered into the Awards will be featured on the trade show’s website and in the official show guide.
The winners will be presented with the award at the exhibition and will also receive post-show media coverage.
Commenting on the award, GMA CEO Geoff Webb said, “We launched the SALTEX Innovation Award to celebrate the very best in new groundscare technology. The competition has significantly grown year on year, and the Innovation Award has helped to put a wide number of products on the map.
“After considering the wide variety of innovations which enter the competition each year, we felt it appropriate to introduce several categories rather than just one overall winner.”
