The newly retitled Boat International Design & Innovation Awards will take place on Sunday 28 January 2018 in Kitzbühel, Austria. Previously known as The ShowBoats Design Awards, the refreshed awards programme will acknowledge not only the naval architecture and styling but also design aspects that represent innovation and engineering amid the changing demands of owner’s and the increased product portfolio of technology. In addition, prizes will also be awarded to the Young Designer of the Year as well as a special Lifetime Achievement Award which will be presented to a designer who has made an indelible impression on the yachting industry.
Several yachts of HISWA Holland Yachting Group members are nominated as finaslists in twelve categories:
