EXHIBITOR Magazine Announces Portable/Modular Awards Finalists
1/19/2026
ROCHESTER, MN — EXHIBITOR magazine is proud to announce the following finalists in its 13th annual Portable/Modular Awards. Judged by a panel of designers and marketing experts, the contest was open to modular, system, and portable exhibits launched between Nov. 1, 2023, and Nov. 1, 2025, as well as conceptual designs that have never been fabricated.
“Exhibit managers are drawn to portable and modular exhibits because they offer an affordable alternative to traditional custom exhibitry, are easy to set up, and offer flexible options for rejuvenated environments, all while supporting sustainable design practices,” said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “The finalists in this year’s awards showcase a variety of innovative ideas that offer plenty of inspiration to exhibit managers using portable and modular components in their designs.”
Winners — including the recipient of the competition’s top honor, the Zeigler Award, as well as the winners of the People’s Choice Award — will be announced at EXHIBITORLIVE on March 31 at 3:30 p.m. in the Educational Theater.
People’s Choice Award voting will go live on March 16 at ExhibitorOnline.com/awards/pma/peopleschoice-vote.asp. Once that happens, site visitors (including finalists) will be able to vote for their favorite project once per day through March 31 (at 12 p.m. EDT). At the close of the competition, votes will be tallied, and the entrant with the most votes will receive the People's Choice Award. All winners will receive a custom trophy and will be featured in EXHIBITOR magazine.
