Retail VM & Display Awards return in 2027

With over 30 years of celebrating creativity, innovation and excellence in retail visual merchandising and display, the Retail Visual Merchandising & Display Awards return on 4th March 2027 at the prestigious Royal Lancaster London, bringing together some of the very best of the industry for another spectacular evening of recognition and celebration.

For more than three decades, the Awards have been firmly established as a premier event for the retail visual merchandising and display industry. Supported by retailers, suppliers, designers and creative agencies, the Awards have sold out every year.

Growing entries, growing prestige

Each year brings an increasing number of entries, reflecting the creativity, innovation and talent within the industry. Judged independently by respected industry professionals, including A1 Retail’s Editor Abbie Clark, the Awards recognise outstanding retail projects, window displays and in-store experiences.

The evening the industry looks forward to

More than an awards ceremony, this is the evening the industry eagerly anticipates every year. Retailers, suppliers, designers and industry leaders come together for prestigious awards, outstanding hospitality, entertainment and invaluable face-to-face networking.

Celebrating the people behind the creativity

As technology and AI transform industries, the Awards continue to recognise something irreplaceable: the imagination, passion, craftsmanship and talent of the people who bring retail environments to life.

Entries open for 2027
