Participation is free and open to all NY NOW exhibitors, but companies must apply and be accepted. Additionally, all products within the display are automatically eligible for the “Eco Choice” Awards program. One winner will be selected by an independent panel of judges in each of three categories: Most Innovative, Most Sensitive Use of Materials, and Most Sellable. Only products accepted to the display are eligible for the “Eco Choice” Awards program.
