About the competition
and the award rounds
The Best Retail Cases database brings together the diverse solutions currently used by the retail sector. In order to highlight the best among them, the Best Retail Cases Awards are presented regularly. An expert jury and the users – the retailers themselves – select their favourites. The best-placed cases benefit from significantly increased attention, among other things through special seals that can be incorporated into marketing measures and are directly integrated into the case presentation.

Jury awards
VARIOUS MEDIA HOUSES ARE INVOLVED
A jury of experts from the retail world will select the best cases independently of the user voting. It consists primarily of representatives from various media houses and closely examines the submitted retail cases in order to evaluate them according to benefits for end customers and retailers, functionality and innovation.
Users vote
AND VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITES
Under the motto «Give me YOUR vote», voting takes place for the users (retailers). Within six weeks, every vote from the case submitters will be fought for via the press, social and online channels. Prizes for the voters will fuel the mood for participation. Join in and take advantage of the media and user interest. Cases that do not move a large community prove themselves to the jury in any case.

Submission information
When can cases be submitted?
The retail cases can be submitted from now until the end of the respective event (June and September 2022). Submissions received after this date will not be considered for voting. A fee of 349.00 euros (plus VAT) will be charged for each case submitted.
When do you vote?
The user voting will run from May to June 2022 and from August to September 2022. During the voting, the cases will be presented by our partner media. The jury voting will take place after the user voting.
Which cases can be submitted?
Every retail case can be submitted. It will then be posted on the website for evaluation and promoted through our partner media. Place the case in at least one category in which the case is to be evaluated at the award.
How do I submit my case?
The cases can be submitted directly on the website. Here you can assign the case to a category in which the case is to be evaluated at the award. Please note the respective submission deadline.
What happens after submission?
After submission, the case is posted on the website for evaluation. As soon as the voting is activated, the cases will be promoted via us and our partner media. Retailers are invited to vote for the individual cases. Independently, the media jury will evaluate the retail cases.
Use your channels to encourage voting for your case. In addition, you can already purchase media services from our partners at a reduced price during the user voting or book additional ad-ons. In this way, the attention on the submitted case can be significantly increased.
How does the award presentation work?
The award presentation will take place digitally via Zoom. All award-winning cases will be called up individually and those responsible will be given the opportunity to briefly say something about their case. Several people per case can take part in the award presentation.
When and where will the award presentation take place?
The award ceremony will take place live in Frankfurt/Main in June and purely digitally via Zoom in September 2022. Several people per case can come to the award ceremony.
What are the prices?
Through co-partnerships with GFM News and the supporting media, the best cases will be published on their various channels in print and online. A media budget will be distributed among all winners. The partner media will report on the winners and a winning press release will be sent out.
How do I draw attention to my case?
Use your channels to cheer on the voting for your case. In addition, you can already purchase media services from our partners at a reduced price during the user voting. This can significantly increase the attention on the submitted case. Contact us for this!
