In the past, winners were almost monopolized by European and American brands. This year, the ISPO Award established an award category specifically for Asian brands for the first time. After evaluation by 57 judges from 14 countries across three continents around the world, the Fenix professional bicycle light BT20 stood out with its creative product design, exquisite craftsmanship, strong technical advantages, and practical functionality, ultimately winning the 2013 ISPO Award (Asia) “Winner” award in the outdoor equipment category, marking the first time a Chinese sports brand made it onto the winners’ list.
Like the iF Design Award and the Red Dot (Red Dot) Design Award, the ISPO AWARD is also a globally recognized innovation design award. As an important award specifically for innovations in sports products, the winning products and designs of the ISPO AWARD over the years have become industry benchmarks. For a long time, European sports brands, with their cutting-edge technological innovations and forward-thinking environmental concepts, have almost completely dominated the ISPO AWARD winners' list, with very few Asian brands making the cut. To discover and encourage innovation among Asian sports brands in terms of product performance and environmental responsibility, this edition of the ISPO AWARD specially established an Asia Product Award exclusively for Asian brands.
All sports goods manufacturers headquartered in Asian countries are eligible to enter the ISPO AWARD Asia Product Award. The award is divided into categories such as extreme sports, outdoor, snow sports, and fitness, with each category further divided into ten subcategories including apparel, footwear, accessories, and raw materials. Professional judges from around the world, including China, will gather in Munich, Germany, to carefully select products that demonstrate breakthroughs in innovation, design, performance, and environmental responsibility.
