The National Watermelon Promotion Board celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Retail Display Contest with 150 entries from the U.S. and Canada.
Entries are judged on overall appearance, creativity, use of NWPB-provided point of sale materials, shopability and messaging.
“This year’s entries were incredible,” said Juliemar Rosado, director of retail operations and international marketing, in a news release. “The stores didn’t just meet the judging criteria, they went above and beyond.”
