More entries than ever before: 496 products from a total of 30 different countries competed for this year’s EUROBIKE AWARD. The judges selected 61 entries as award winners; ten of them even took home a GOLD award.
The award winners of this year’s EUROBIKE AWARD were honored at the opening of EUROBIKE, the international bicycle tradeshow (28 to 31 August) in Friedrichshafen. The competition was hosted by Messe Friedrichshafen for the ninth time this year – and recorded more entries than ever received before. 496 entries from 30 different countries (2012: 439 entries from 28 countries) were submitted and evaluated by the panel of judges. Wolfgang Köhle, press spokesperson and member of the Messe Friedrichshafen Management Board said: “As the hosts of this competition, we are, of course, very happy about the high number of participants – it is certainly proof positive that the EUROBIKE AWARD has established a solid position as a seal of quality for innovation and good design in the bicycle industry.”
Of all the entries, the experts chose 61 award winners, ten of whom could be particularly happy: they received one of the coveted GOLD awards. The EUROBIKE GREEN AWARD was not presented. Just as last year, the judges regrettably found that none of the products submitted were really convincing in terms of environmental protection and sustainability.
