Planet Attractions teams up with Park World for Park World Excellence Awards 2024

Planet Attractions and Park World have announced the renewal of an agreement that will see both publications work in partnership for a second year on the annual Park World Excellence Awards






Planet Attractions and Park World will once again partner on this year’s Park World Excellence Awards, with both publications jointly announcing a renewed partnership for the 2024 edition.

Working together for the second consecutive year on the awards, this year, Planet Attractions’ Editor-in-Chief, Tom Anstey, joins the judging panel for the prestigious awards, which have been firmly established as one of the attractions industry’s leading award schemes since its inception in 2018.

Taking place this year on September 25th at the Renaissance Koepelkerk in Amsterdam, Netherlands, through the awards, global manufacturers and suppliers working on projects in the EMEA region are given the chance to be recognised for their work.

“Getting to play a part in the Park World Excellence Awards last year with Planet Attractions was a great honour,” said Anstey. “To this year not only work in partnership with the event but to also join the judging panel is a huge responsibility and an even greater privilege.

“Park World is among the very best media outlets in this industry and partnering with them on their awards for a second year was an absolute no-brainer.”

With the 2024 shortlist already revealed, awards are up for grabs across 19 categories in addition to Industry Icon (Operator), Industry Icon (Supplier) and Best of the Best, for which winners will be announced on the night of the awards ceremony.

Manufacturers, suppliers and operators are all encouraged to enter their latest projects and products. More than 20 categories are featured, as well as the Best of the Best, which will see the judging panel each put forward a park, ride or attraction from any point in time that they believe is the best of all time. This award is considered the pinnacle of the Excellence Awards, with the winner to be revealed on the night.

“We look forward to hosting the event in Amsterdam at the fantastic Renaissance Koepelkerk venue,” said Paul Ryder, Media Director at Park World.

“Once again entries have been strong this year, and with the continued expansion of the judging panel, the awards continue to be a must-attend event, in the industry calendar.

“We are also very pleased to have Planet Attractions as our media partner again this year, alongside Park World magazine and Global Amusements & Play.”
