Bahrain-based Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE) said the last date for casting votes via Facebook for the best stand at its summer trio of exhibitions - Gulf Construction Expo (formerly called gulfBID), The Gulf Property Show and gulfInteriors Exhibition - will be October 17.  

The ‘3Gs’, as the shows are collectively known, are considered valuable launch pads into the multi-billion-dollar construction, interiors and real estate markets of the northern Gulf.

"The Best Stand Awards recognises the dedication, creativity and design input of our exhibitors to promote their products and services at the exhibitions," explained Ahmed Suleiman, the exhibitions director of HCE.

Those shortlisted for Gulf Construction Expo are Kuwaiti Manager Contracting, Al Nooh Wood Design, and Modern Glass Technology (all from Bahrain) and Espac from Saudi Arabia, while for the Gulf Property Show, the lucky ones to  make it to the list are Ahmed Al Qaed, Bin Faqeeh, Diyar Al Muharraq, Eagle Hills, Eskan Bank and First Bahrain Development Company.  

For gulfInteriors exhibition's best stand award, those shortlisted include Hempel Paints, Creative Closets, Titolo Design and Build, Mobilio Uno, Viola Décor Contracting and National Paints.

"The task of selecting a shortlist of companies is always difficult and controversial, but the winners will be selected by popular demand via a Facebook poll," he stated.

The nominee’s stand designs are available  for voters to view online at the respective Facebook pages for Gulf Property Show, Gulf Interiors and Gulf Construction. The winners will be presented the award at the HCE 2017 Events Launch Reception next month.-TradeArabia News Service
