Experts for the award of the eleven quality seals

The Plus X Award Jury

One of Plus X Award’s principles is that an Award is only as strong as its jury. This is the reason why the Plus X Award seals of approval are awarded by an independent specialist panel of expert jurors. These editors, designers and experts meet several times a year to assess the best products and technologies of their respective industries. Each product is then examined thoroughly and assessed for one or several of the eleven Plus X Award seals of approval. The jurors’ expertise and experience not only allow profound discussions but also valuable suggestions and comments on the products presented. Products differ in their complexity so each product deserves to be assessed honestly and in detail.

Quotes of the jury

Frank Kreif

Chairman of the International Plus X Award Jury

“The jury offers an incredible range of characters and know-how. This makes it possible to get a product from different perspectives. I also believe that the jury’s basic critical and factual attitude is not flattened. It has become even more intense over the years because the product level and the demands of end users have also become ever higher.”

“Working in the Plus X Award jury is a lot of fun for us, especially since the Plus X Award is a benchmark in many industries, and from my conversations with industry representatives, I know that a successful participation in the Plus X Award for every excellent product means a positive and sales-activating marketing campaign.”
