The expert jury of the French Outdoor Awards Winter 2021 (FOA) of the Outdoor Sports Valley (OSV) trade association has selected the winners, but they will not be revealed until the official awards ceremony on Feb. 9, 2021. Because ISPO Munich 2021, where the products were to be presented, only takes place online, the innovations submitted for the winter edition can be viewed in a virtual showroom.

A jury of experts judged the submitted products and services according to the criteria of use, quality, functionality, durability and innovation and then awarded prizes in three categories:

  • FOA Winter Award “Innovation” for the overall winner in terms of technical innovation and use.
  • FOA Winter Award “Startup” for the promotion of a young company.
  • FOA Winter Award “Responsible” for the most sustainable innovation.

The award ceremony will take place on Feb. 9, 2021, in the French winter resort of Le Grand-Bornand. 

The virtual showroom with more information about the 14 finalist products is now open here.
