Welcome to The Solal Awards 2025
It’s time to celebrate the very best in retail and leisure marketing.
Despite living through challenging times, marketing teams never stop innovating and finding ingenious ways to connect with audiences.
The Solal Awards offer a moment for you to showcase your most effective work and receive acknowledgement from world-class judges.
With an educational seminar and study tour to Lisbon, it’s also an opportunity to learn about best-practice, trends and expert opinions.
Plus, a great chance to network with colleagues from around Europe and beyond.
We look forward to judging your entry and seeing you in Portugal.
