or
- has been implemented into production practice – within 12 to 21 months prior to the submission date – (implemented project).
The winners of the “Polish Product of the Future” Contest receive a statue, a diploma, the right to use the symbol and name of “Polish Product of the Future” in correspondence and promotion as well as support for the product promotion.
Apart from the above prizes, the Contest Organizer provides also special prizes:
