One Of A Kind Canvas gives exhibitors the opportunity to transform key show features and materials into one of a kind, artist designed creations. These are unique opportunities to showcase your creativity, express your brand, and gain high visibility exposure throughout the show.

This year, there are five design opportunities to choose from. Each has its own requirements and specifications, which you can explore below.

The theme for all designs is Christmas, reflecting the festive spirit of One Of A Kind, one of the world's largest Christmas markets.

Selected wall designs will be reproduced on 3 mm eco board, installed as part of the show décor, and fully recycled after the event, keeping the program both creative and sustainable.

Why Participate?

These opportunities are available to Main Section, Pop-Up (First/Second Half), Flavours, Original Art Gallery, Christmas Market, and Rising Stars exhibitors.

This competition invites exhibitors to create an original design for the official 2026 One Of A Kind Christmas Show shopping bag. The winning design will be featured on bags available for purchase online and at the show, with the opportunity to be showcased across additional show materials and promotional applications.
