Star Awards

BSPI Star Awards Criteria for Awards.

Bridal Show Producers International is excited to announce that the Advertising Award program has been expanded to represent a broader relation to overall bridal show production. In 2008 the awards program was  renamed the BSPi Star Awards to better represent the expanded award categories.

Each year categories are selected by the Board of Directors. These categories and specific criteria may change from year to year.

Entries are anonymously judged by a third party panel to include experts in the respective category fields

Entries must be made by April 1st to allow time for judging

Winners will be tabulated by an accounting firm and the sealed results will be announced at the BSPi Recognition Celebration in conjunction with the Annual Conference in May.
