In this issue, we highlight all the winning entries from the 2023 EUSA Awards, which were presented in October during the aquanale exhibition in Cologne, Germany
H
osted by the European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Associations (EUSA), the annual European Pool and Spa Awards celebrate the most outstanding domestic pools, spas and hot tubs in the wet leisure industry, with award winners from across Europe competing for the highest accolades. An experienced panel of judges voted for the most beautiful swimming pool builds and hot tub installations in Europe, and on 24 October, the winners of the EUSA Awards 2023 were announced at aquanale in Cologne. SPATA were delighted to confirm that from the UK, Kent-based XL Pools, scooped one of these top accolades this year, with a Bronze in the ‘Domestic Pools With An Enclosure’ category. In the 2023 competition, 282 projects
from 11 countries were entered by their national pool and spa associations: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK. The EUSA Awards is a competition in which ‘the best of the best’ are chosen, as it is usual for the national associations to enter the winners of their national swimming pool and hot tub prize winners. SPATA and BISHTA submitted shortlisted entries from the winners of the British Pool & Hot Tub Awards. The 2023 EUSA Awards ceremony was the
11th time the event was hosted and Mille Őrnmark, EUSA Vice President, presented the winners with their trophies and certificates. This year, there are winners from seven countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK. The 24 winners of the EUSA Awards 2023, in the eight categories, are listed below and showcased across the next few pages.
