SRR's 12th Annual Visual Victories Award Winners

Categories and Judges

Specialty Retail Report is pleased to present the winners of this year's Visual Victories Awards, sponsored by Glimcher Realty Trust, a premier US REIT based in Ohio, and Ivanhoe Cambridge, a preeminent developer and management firm with headquarters in Montreal, Canada.

Both companies are global leaders in the specialty retail industry, with properties worldwide operated with the firm belief that excellence in visual merchandising leads to more sales. We couldn't agree more, which is why we launched SRR's annual Visual Victories contest 12 years ago. We wanted to recognize the innovative visual merchandisers, retailers and specialty leasing pros who work hard day after day to create carts, kiosks and inlines that stand out, draw shoppers closer and help salespeople sell.

The Visual Victories Awards celebrate the best-of-the-best in seven categories:

• Best Cart Display
• Best Kiosk Display
• Best Store Design
• Best Promotional Display
• Best Store Signage
• Best Use of a Prop
• Most Improved Retail Display

We would like to thank our panel of judges. This year 14 industry professionals shown here, representing a mix of industry expertise and perspectives, gave us their votes and insider insights, which you'll find on the following pages.
