European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders Launches 11th Awards Edition

EPSE – the trade association representing polycarbonate sheet producers and suppliers across Europe – is proud to announce the 11th edition of its EPSE AWARDS in 2025, an exclusive competition that highlights the most innovative, sustainable, and aesthetically outstanding projects made using polycarbonate sheets.

Since its launch in 2007, the EPSE Awards have become a hallmark of excellence, celebrating the transformative potential of polycarbonate in architecture, industry, design, and beyond. Each edition underscores the material’s unique combination of strength, transparency, durability, and environmental performance. The EPSE Awards are more than recognition, they are a showcase of what’s possible with polycarbonate.

This year's event is kindly sponsored by Polyvantis, a key player in sustainable materials innovation. The EPSE AWARDS 2025 Ceremony will take place during the K Fair in Düsseldorf on 13th October 2025 at 16:00 CET, hosted at Polyvantis’s booth - Hall 8b – Booth D27.

All submitted projects are now live on the EPSE website for public voting. You have until 11 September 2025 to vote for your favourite project in each category.

Judging & Public Vote

The final score for each project is based on 50% jury evaluation and 50% public voting.

Jury Panel
​The jury includes 5 members with expertise in journalism, architecture, academia, and other relevant sectors. Each jury member scores projects on a 20-point scale, based on the following criteria:

🔹 Innovation – originality, impact on the industry, and applicability to future use
​🔹 Sustainability – environmental responsibility, resource efficiency, and adaptation to surroundings
​🔹 Design – creativity, contextual relevance, and material appropriateness

Public Vote
​Public votes will be normalized to match the jury scoring scale (out of 20) and will account for 50% of the final result.

The project with the highest combined score in each category will be declared the winner. Winners will be announced during the EPSE Awards 2025 Ceremony, which will be held on 13th October 2025 at 16:00 CET, at Polyvantis’s booth – Hall 8b, Booth D27, during the K Fair in Düsseldorf.
