VMSD‘s annual International Visual Competition highlights projects of limited shelf life from window displays to in-store storewide campaigns to apparel presentations and more. The Best in Show winner will receive a FREE registration to the 2023 International Retail Design Conference (IRDC) taking place this Oct. 25-26 in Minneapolis. All other winners will receive a discounted registration to IRDC and be featured in VMSD‘s July/August 2023 issue. (The cost to enter is $50 for the first entry and $20 for subsequent entries; $20 for students.)

The Renovation Competition features the best “before” and “after” renovation and conversion projects across the retail industry. Renovations are defined as a retailer updating its existing store; conversions are defined as a retailer moving into a formerly occupied space and renovating it to its brand specifications. The Retail Renovation of the Year will receive a FREE registration to IRDC 2023. All other winners will receive a discounted registration to IRDC and be profiled in VMSD‘s September/October 2023 issue. (The cost to enter is $200 per entry.)

Winners from both competitions will be celebrated onsite at IRDC 2023 in Minneapolis.
