Creativity shined last week at the winter edition of Atlanta Market as several booths were honored with awards from show organizer Andmore. Six temporary exhibitors were recognized for their excellence in merchandising and visual presentation at AmericasMart, including an overall Best in Show winner.
“The Best Booth Awards celebrate the ingenuity and collaboration that define Atlanta Market,” said Jon Pertchik, Andmore CEO. “This season’s winners showcase exceptional talent and inspire fresh approaches to sourcing and branding innovation across the industry.”
