Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards

The Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards recognize the cutting edge and carefully considered new products, materials, and retail services from across all seasons. Determined by a panel of expert judges, winners of the annual awards are unveiled during the Outdoor Retailer and Outdoor Design + Innovation show.

The 7th annual Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards will be hosted in conjunction with Outdoor Retailer and Outdoor Design + Innovation next summer, June 18-20, 2025. The entry window will open in early 2025.

The awards judging panel evaluates all submitted products and services based on four criteria:

  • Spark: concept, design, appeal
  • Desire: opportunity, differentiation
  • Function: innovation, functionality, insight
  • Impact: cultural, environmental, business
