have your staff check in at the Show Office or before the show to receive their badge.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BADGES IN YOUR BOOTH as
you need them to gain access to the show floor. Replacement badges are $10 each if lost, left at home, left in booth, a dog ate them etc.
BOOTH AWARDS & TIPS!
Each year, the Edmonton Fall Home Show awards five exhibitors, each in a different category, for standing out from their competition and peers. The categories for the booth awards are listed below, accompanied by the criteria our panel of judges look for when selecting the winning booth and company. We value all of the hard work our exhibitors put in to create their displays and design their spaces and award those who go above and beyond to put their best foot forward.
| Best In Show | Regardless of size, this booth displays the most unique display and design of any other in the show. |
| Best Large Space | This award goes out to the best booth that is 400 square feet or larger. |
| Best Medium Space | This award goes out to the best booth that is 200 - 399 square feet. |
| Best Small Space | This award goes out to the best booth that is 100 - 199 square feet. |
| Rookie of the Year | This award goes out to the exhibitor who is new to the show and built an award-worthy booth. |
