Jury
Presenting Awards
They are actually the most important people behind the Plus X Award: The jurors. That's because the 31 renowned trade journalists and industry personalities are those who decide on who will receive the Plus X Award seals. Based on their specific field of professional knowledge they form various different panels of expertise. The jury members of these panels decide which of the technology, sport and lifestyle products receive an award each year.As was announced at the awards ceremony for the first time, beginning at the next jury conference, 144 top-class jury members, neutral in terms of industry preference, from 32 nations and from all corners of the globe, will assess the submitted products and determine their viability for receiving an award. (Information valid as of May 19, 2009)
Awards are generally given to brand quality exclusively. Based on the six categories Innovation, High Quality, Design, Ease of Use/Functionality, Ecology and Ergonomics. The jury also makes a decision on whether the product offers added value to the consumer or whether a product is simply a "me too" item. These kinds of items don't stand a chance at the Plus X Award - that is something the jurors always agree upon.
Every product that is submitted is tested exhaustively and then discussed in detail: During a process that lasts several weeks, the experts judge the most powerful and the most innovative products offered in the technology, sport and lifestyle industry sectors.
