Best Communicator Award 2025
For the 2025 edition, the Marmomac Best Communicator Award | Forbes Selection further evolves, placing creativity, innovation, and communication at the heart of narrating the world of natural stone.
The award is structured into two main strands:
Forbes Selection, dedicated to international personalities in the fields of art, architecture, and people of influence, who have distinguished themselves in promoting the cultural and artistic value of stone.
> Exhibitors, with three awards assigned to Marmomac 2025 participants in the categories of Visions, Natural Stone, and Technology, celebrating stands capable of turning exhibition design into powerful storytelling.
In addition, the jury may assign Special Mentions, including Anniversary and Graphic and Visual Design, the latter in collaboration with the students of the Exhibition Design course at IUSVE.
With this structure, BCA 2025 confirms its mission: rewarding those who can transform spaces and projects into innovative, creative, and engaging narratives, capable of spreading the culture of stone to a broad and diverse audience.

AWARDS
The Icon Award was established by Marmomac in 2016 with the aim of selecting the work whose aesthetic impact and symbolic value stands out as the best image for the communication campaign for the next show. All the installations and applications displayed inside The Italian Stone Theatre can be nominated and the winner, selected in the past by a jury of experts from the worlds of culture, design and communication, for the first time in 2021 will be chosen by the public of Marmomac. Two possible ways will be available for voting: live in the Exhibition Centre, on multimedia totems located near the exhibition areas, or online on the social channels of Marmomac. The hashtags to which to refer on Instagram for research and voting of posts dedicated to the Icon Award are: #MarmomacIconAward, #TheItalianStoneTheatre and #timeinstone.
