With less than one week to go, METSTRADE Show organiser RAI Amsterdam calls on exhibitors to submit their most innovative designs for the DAME (Design Award METSTRADE) by 20 September 2016.
All entries for the world's most prestigious design competition for new marine equipment and accessories will be judged by an independent international jury of experts. The winners will be announced during the METSTRADE Breakfast Briefing on the opening day of the METSTRADE Show 2016, which takes place from 15 to 17 November in the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre.
The importance of DAME in the global marine industry is unrivalled. The awards are arranged every year as part of the METSTRADE Show, the world's largest marine equipment event and only truly international B2B exhibition for the leisure marine industry. As the most significant competition of its kind for new equipment and accessories, DAME set the pace for new concepts and designs in the worldwide industry over the past 26 years. This means that the category nominees receive a great deal of exposure while the eventual DAME winner becomes highly renowned within its field.

Nowadays the competition is as relevant as ever in highlighting the importance of design for all marine products, from function to aesthetics and from packaging to the end product. The DAME Jury also considers the expected impact of the entries on the marine industry of entries, their suitability for intended purpose, the level of innovation, the cost effectiveness and environmental impact.
