Exhibitor Portable Modular Awards

It’s that time of year. The 2017 Portable Modular Award Finalists were released, along with the People’s Choice Voting page. From its inception four years ago, Classic Exhibits has been a huge supporter because we believe that portable and modular exhibits deserve creative recognition. And each year, the competition gets better, with spectacular designs from some of the best suppliers and exhibit houses in our industry.

This year, Classic Exhibits has six finalists, our most ever. You may recall that Classic has won a PMA award the past two years and has had multiple finalists each year.

Our Finalists

Exhibitor Portable Modular AwardsThis year we have finalists in the following categories:

  • Best Use of Graphics category for System, Design, and Fabrication
  • Best Island Less than 600 sq. foot category for System, Design and Fabrication
  • Best Island 600-1,000 sq. foot category for System and Fabrication
  • Best Inline category for System, Design, and Fabrication
  • Best Rental category for both System and Fabrication

We STRONGLY encourage you to visit the People’s Choice Voting page and vote for your favorite(s). You can cast one vote per day for the next three months. So, bookmark the page and vote often. We will. 😉

Also, we would enjoy hearing your comments about our banner ad on the People’s Choice page. We’re a reluctant advertiser as you know, but supporting the PMA takes precedence. The ad isn’t your typical exhibit manufacturer message. But, then again, we aren’t a typical exhibit manufacturer.

p.s. A BIG THANKS to Katina Rigall, our Creative Director, for pulling together Classic’s PMA entries.
