EWA Awards 2026: Applications Can Now Be Submitted

(eap) Member facilities of the European Waterpark Association e.V. (EWA) – the quality association representing European leisure pools, spas and waterparks – can now submit their applications for the prestigious “EWA Awards”. The distinction will be presented for the 24^th time this year in three categories: “EWA Professional Award”, “EWA Marketing Award”, and “EWA Sustainability Award”. The awards recognise innovative attraction concepts, compelling marketing strategies and sustainable operational models. An independent expert jury will review all submissions and select those concepts that convincingly demonstrate quality and future viability. In addition to unsolicited applications from swimming pool operators, suggestions from the jury and the association’s supporting members are also welcome. Application deadline is 28 February 2026. Applications can be submitted here.

The award ceremony will take place on 27 April 2026, as part of the “10th International EWA Congress” at the MEWA Arena in Mainz, Germany. As in previous years, EAP Magazine will present the award winners and their innovative concepts. ■
