PIF Gold Medal Competition

Dear Exhibitors,

We are pleased to inform you that in order to meet your needs we have prepared COMPLETELY NEW REGULATIONS FOR PRESENTING MTP GOLD MEDALS, the most renowned and prestigious Polish trade fair award.

To strengthen the promotion of award-winning products we have decided that the winners of MEDALS WILL BE ANNOUNCED BEFORE Next Season, Body Style, Fast Fashion, Tex-Style, and the medals will be presented at an official Award Gala on the first trade fair day (2 March 2010).

Information about winners and award-winning products will reach editorial boards of specialist and nationwide media and will be published on MTP websites already in February. A special medal newsletter will be available to journalists and visitors before and during the trade shows, thus serving as a guide to the award-winning products.

THE ASSESSMENT OF ENTERED PRODUCTS WILL BE BASED ON FULL DOCUMENTATION
AND THE DEADLINE FOR ENTERING PRODUCTS TO THE GOLD MEDAL COMPETITION
IS  16 FEBRUARY 2010.

Take part in the MTP Gold Medal Competition.  We are convinced that the change in the procedure to announce the winners will further help promote your products and will trigger interest in the industry long before the shows.

Strengths of PIF Gold Medal

The PIF Gold Medal has had a long tradition and reputation in the modern history of the Poznań International Fair. It has been awarded since 1979 and has been a distinction highly respected by both Polish and foreign exhibitors. It is an appreciated form of product promotion and an excellent marketing instrument. Companies and corporations are eager to display the graphic representations of the Gold Medal on their products and in their promotional materials.
The Gold Medal is a distinction highly valued by professionals who often make purchasing decision motivated by the decision of the Competition Jury. Manufacturers, whose products have been awarded the PIF Gold Medals, claim that their sales have grown by 10-30%.
Representatives of the press, radio, television and other media give extensive coverage to the products awarded with the medal. They carry feature articles about them in branch publications and promote about them extensively on the radio and television.
