KEEN wins the Austrian Event Award in the ‘Sports Events’ category
We are official Austrian Event Award winners!
We are delighted: KEEN was honored for the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® World Championship 2023 at the Austrian Event Award in the special category “Sport Events”!
The Austrian Event Award has been one of the most prestigious awards in the Austrian live communication industry since 1996, honoring the best events of the year. Every year, this award recognizes outstanding projects and innovative concepts from agencies throughout Austria - with a special focus on creativity, quality and impact.
Together with our partner STIHL, we submitted the World Championships at the end of 2024 and were rewarded for our holistic event concept at the 28th edition of the award. A great start to the new 2025 event season!
We are particularly proud that we were awarded in this strong category of all things - because with the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon, the Wörthersee Gravel Race, Padel Smash 2024 and the Chris Dance School Anniversary Ball, the competing projects were top-class.
Our submission - die STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® World Championship 2023 in the Porsche Arena in Stuttgart - a show of superlatives.
With over 120 athletes from 19 nations, a sold-out stadium over two days, more than 13,000 spectators on site and 2.6 million livestream views worldwide, the event was a complete success - both in terms of sport and organization. The event was not only named “Event of the Year” by the Porsche Arena, but was also certified as a climate-friendly event.
For us, this award is more than just an accolade - it shows that our passion, commitment and attention to detail really pay off. This is exactly what gives us the momentum to continue organizing events in the future that arouse emotions, bring people together and are memorable.
This prize and a huge thank you go to all our partners and service providers who made this spectacular event possible!
Congratulations also to all the other winners and nominees of the 28th Austrian Event Award - it was a pleasure to celebrate with you!
