With about one month and a half until the Bologna Licensing Trade Fair, Products of Change members are reminded there’s still time to be involved in this year’s Sustainability showcase and awards category.
This year, Products of Change has once again partnered with Brands Media and the Bologna Licensing Trade Fair to preside over judging of its Best Sustainable Licensed Project category, a recent addition to the event’s popular Bologna Licensing Awards.
Now in its seventh year, the Bologna Licensing Awards have gained international recognition throughout the licensing industry and have been established to acknowledge and celebrate project developers, Ips, and content across the children’s, teens, and young adults age ranges. This year, it brings with it a revamped sustainability category.
Each category within the Awards will have separate accolades for both licensors and agencies as well as licensees and retailers. For the third year running in the Awards’ history, the team has partnered with Products of Change to bring the organisation’s ceo and founder, Helena Mansell-Stopher in as head judge for the sustainability category.
Criteria for the category remains relatively open, providing the activity has been introduced over the course of 2023 and leans into the conversation around industry sustainable development. The deadline to submit your entry for this year’s Bologna Licensing Awards has subsequently been extended.
Bologna Licensing Trade Fair will run adjacently to the Bologna Book Fair and will take place between April 8thand 11th. Submissions for the Awards can be sent to licensing@bolognafiere.it
In a further extension of the partnership, this year’s Bologna Licensing Trade Fair will also house a showcase of product innovation that boast sustainability. Products of Change members interested in showcasing their products at the event or entering the awards are encouraged to get in touch with the Brands Media team. POC members looking for more information can drop us a line.
“Products of Change is proud to be partnering with Brands Media at the Bologna Licensing Show for the third year running to highlight the importance of sustainable transformation within our industry, this year increasing our partnership to launching the first sustainability award to be showcased at the event,” said Helena Mansell-Stopher.
