Toy Fair celebrates 2035 Reimagination Awards

Toy Fair is all about creativity and sparking imagination — not just through the hundreds of thousands of playthings on display, but also through the innovative booth designs that bring brands to life across nearly 850 booths at the Javits Center. This year, 18 exhibitors have been honored with a Reimagination Award, recognizing booths that inspire, engage, and transform the show floor into an immersive experience.

The Reimagination Awards celebrate exhibitors who embrace Toy Fair’s visual merchandising initiative, turning their booth spaces into dynamic showcases that captivate buyers, media, and attendees. Awards are given in four categories: Connection, Out-of-the-Box, Powerfully Playful, and Warm Welcome, each highlighting a distinct approach to playful designs and engagement. As part of this initiative, exhibitors are encouraged to think beyond traditional booth setups and dedicate at least 20 percent of their aisle-facing space to an interactive product display.
