World Retail Awards - The global benchmark of retail excellence

Recognising outstanding achievements in the retail industry

The World Retail Awards are the only global retail industry awards that recognise and honour retail excellence. Now in their eighth year, the awards are truly established and attract entries from hundreds of retailers from over 50 countries across the world, allowing many international and regional retailers to showcase their "retail excellence" in all segments of the retail industry.

The World Retail Awards 2014 are now open for entry.

With 13 categories to choose from, including reengineered categories on growth markets and innovation and a new online entry system, start your entry now and ensure that you don't miss out on your chance to be crowned the winner at the Awards Ceremony and Gala dinner in Paris on 30 September 2014.

The legendary Salle Wagram in the heart of Paris will once again play host to the glittering awards ceremony, held during the World Retail Congress, showcasing both finalists and winners in front of over 500 people. The Grand Jury for 2014 is made up of heads of retail businesses from all over the world who come together in Paris to decide on the winners. With some jurors serving since the launch of the Awards 8 years ago, as well as some new faces, the roll call of retail elite who will be reviewing the entries is stronger than ever.
