The nominations for this year’s ShowBoats Design Awards will close on February 15. This prestigious event will honor the creative teams behind the most innovative and inspiring yachts, delivered in 2012.
The Golden Neptune Trophies for the Showboats Design Awards Winners
Many superyacht owners and the world’s leading yacht designers and builders have already submitted entries for this year’s Awards, which will be presented during a gala evening at the Monaco Opera House.
Following the close of entries on February 15, Boat International Media’s senior editors will meet to screen the nominees, trimming the list to a smaller number of outstanding finalists. These finalist designs will be put forward for a second round of judging by a wholly independent panel of yacht owners, senior yacht crew and acclaimed naval architects, designers and stylists from within as well as outside the marine industry to decide the winners of the golden Neptune trophies. Finalists will be announced on March 5, 2013.
Any person may nominate a yacht, with the limitation that this person must be able to provide the requested information to support their nomination. To qualify, all yachts must be of over 30 meters in length and have been completed and delivered to their owners between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012.
The full list of categories and entry requirements can be found on the ShowBoats Design Awards website.
An international audience of yacht owners and industry professionals will come together to witness the presentation of the 2013 Awards at the Monaco Opera House on June 21. Following the prize giving ceremony, guests are invited to the Yacht Club de Monaco for an evening of fine food, music and entertainment.
This year’s Awards evening once again takes place during The Rendezvous in Monaco, a four-day event for superyacht owners, and we anticipate that many of the finalist yachts will be participating in the full program of yachting activities and glamorous social occasions.
