The Best Exhibit Awards were divided into sub-categories, depending on size of the exhibit space. The Exhibitor Awards committee has a sub-committee for each category which researches entries and scores them appropriately. The sub-committee chairpersons visit all entrants in each category and review the products, exhibitor demeanor, and overall booth appearance to determine a winner.

The Image Award recognizes the exhibitor(s) with the most attractive booth space. The 2008 Image Award winners were Alterface S.A., 3-D Branded Attractions, nWave Pictures S.A., and MIT Srl.
