"I have been waiting full of anticipation for today's jury meeting, because this year I am a member of the Creative Impulse Award jury for the first time", says Eva Olbrich, Head of Creativeworld and Christmasworld at Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH. "I think it's great how we work here. We put every product through its paces and the exchange with the other jury members is really very enriching. Everyone looks at the submissions from a different angle. I find the innovative power of the DIY sector particularly impressive. With our award, we want to specifically honour the commitment of the companies that further advance the industry with their innovations," Olbrich continues.
The top-class jury of experts from trade, industry and the media is composed as follows for 2023:
- Silke Bosbach, from the Atelier Silke Bosbach – Studio for contemporary textile Arts

- Craig de Souza, Executive Director AFCI.UK
Lisa Tihanyi, creative blogger at meinfeenstaub.com is on the jury for the third time and says: "At the jury meeting for the Creative Impulse Award, we look very closely at all the submissions. We test the products and discuss them extensively, which is an exciting process where all jury members contribute their expertise and opinions. I pay particular attention to how creative, clever and innovative the products are and always ask myself the question: is this something that hasn't been done before in exactly this way?"
For the first time, the renowned industry award is being offered in cooperation with the publishing house Chmielortz and its trade magazine "Cutes & Friends". The award will be presented in the categories: Creative Product, Creative Tool, Creative Complete Set, Artist Product of the Year and the Special Award for the Most Sustainable Product.
