Digital Signage Awards 2027 Entry Deadline Pushed To Oct. 16
2026-10-05 · via invidis
Organizers of the Digital Signage Awards 2027 have extended the entry deadline to Oct. 16, giving companies more time to submit projects, people and innovations for consideration.
The awards recognize work from across the digital signage industry, covering categories that include creative content, technology, installations and industry achievement. Winners will be announced Feb. 1, 2027, at a ceremony in Barcelona, held immediately ahead of ISE 2027. The ceremony and awards dinner will again take place at the Miramar Hotel, continuing the event's tie to the trade show calendar.
For operators and suppliers who track the industry's awards circuit, the timing matters as much as the deadline itself. Holding the ceremony just before ISE means winners get visibility right as the show floor fills with buyers, integrators and press. That scheduling has become a fixture of the Digital Signage Awards in recent years, giving the event a higher profile than it might have on its own.
Each entry requires a 100-word summary, a PDF submission capped at 1,500 words, a company logo and a reference image representing the work. Organizers say they are providing guidance for companies preparing submissions, including advice on structuring entries and choosing the right category, though the announcement does not detail what that guidance covers or where it is published.
For companies that have shipped a notable installation, launched new hardware or software, or run a standout content campaign in the past year, the extension is a practical window to get a submission together before judging begins. The announcement does not say how many categories are on offer this year or whether they differ from prior editions, so prospective entrants will need to check the organizers' own category list before submitting.
The announcement also does not specify who is judging entries or what criteria separate a winning submission from the rest, details that past entrants have had to find in the awards' own guidelines rather than in press announcements like this one.
With the new Oct. 16 cutoff, companies weighing whether to enter have a few more weeks to pull together the required materials before the submission window closes and judging gets underway ahead of the February ceremony in Barcelona.
