Here’s The Winner List For 2025 Global Digital Signage Awards February 18, 2025 by Super User I don’t have an overly useful file that lists all the winners from the global Digital Signage Awards from, wow, a couple of weeks back in Barcelona, so I will point you instead at a set of slides from the awards site that shows the various winners with images of the projects.
