8/1/2025

OSAKA, JAPAN - Voting is now open for the People’s Choice category of EXHIBITOR Magazine's World Expo Awards. Check out the pavilions from the World Expo in Osaka, Japan, and vote for your favorite at ExhibitorOnline.com/voteExpo. Voting will end at 11:59 p.m. (CST) on August 15. You can vote once per visit, and the pavilion that earns the most votes will be honored with special coverage in the October/November edition of EXHIBITOR magazine.

For more than 40 years, EXHIBITOR magazine has hosted the world's most prestigious exhibit-design competitions, honoring the crème de la crème of trade show exhibits from all over the globe. The publication's World Expo Awards have recognized the most impressive pavilions at the world's fairs in Shanghai at China's Expo 2010, Yeosu at South Korea's Expo 2012, Milan at Italy's Expo 2015, Astana at Kazakhstan's Expo 2017, and Dubai at Expo 2020. Now it's Osaka's turn to acclaim not only the specular pavilions and exhibits but also the architects and designers who created them.

Emily Olson “EXHIBITOR is recognized globally for honoring excellence in experiential design,” said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “Now in its second decade, our Expo Awards competition continues to celebrate the outstanding work of countries and companies from around the world.”

In developing this year's World Expo Awards program, EXHIBITOR magazine is proud to rely on the expertise of EXHIBITOR senior writer Charles Pappas, who will also be in Osaka. Pappas is the internationally renowned author of "Flying Cars, Zombie Dogs, and Robot Overlords: How World's Fairs and Trade Expos Changed the World," "Expo 2020: The Definitive Edition," and "Nobody Sits Like the French," the last a look at how the world expos created the Paris we know and revere.

Charles Pappas "Our Expo Awards competition gives individual pavilions an opportunity to spotlight the sometimes under-appreciated effort and imagination that goes into everything from their use of technology to their overall design," said Pappas. "It is a well-earned and highly coveted pat on the back for the design firms, architects, fabrication companies, exhibit directors, docents, and everyone else who poured their blood, sweat, and tears into the common goal of making Expo 2025 unforgettable."

While the winners of the competition’s main categories will be decided by a star-studded panel of multidisciplinary design, marketing, architecture, and communications experts, the competition’s People’s Choice category will be decided by popular vote. The People's Choice Award is sponsored by Derse.
