Established by Facto Edizioni’s GAMES & PARKS INDUSTRY magazine back in 2002 to recognize the excellence of theme parks, traveling showmen, recreational facilities, and personalities in the entertainment sector, The Golden Pony® Awards is recognized as one of the leading international awards in the industry.
To date, more than 380 winners from over 50 countries worldwide have received the highly regarded statuette.

The 26th edition of the event will take place on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, in Bergantino (Rovigo, Italy) and will award 10 entities from different countries.
Nominations are now open! Interested parties can submit their entries and have the opportunity to get the prestigious award. Entries close on September 20.

The Golden Pony® Awards 2024 will be part of the Meeting della Giostra, a special incoming event taking place from 20 to 24 October that is promoted by the Padua and Rovigo CNA (Italian Confederation of Crafts) with the support and patronage of the Chamber of Commerce of Venice and Rovigo, and the Veneto Region, as well as the technical support of VenicePromex. Togo Media is responsible for organizing the awards gala, as well as taking photos and making videos throughout the Meeting.

Flights, hotel accommodation, meals, and activities will be free of charge for the winners of the Golden Pony® Awards 2024, thanks to the ‘Internationalization’ public project. Guests will be taken on a tour of the leading companies in the so-called Rides District (the cradle of the parks & attractions industry in Italy) so as to see first-hand the manufacturing process and meet the managers of the companies.
The project, shared with local, provincial, and regional institutions, aims to improve territorial marketing activities to promote the Polesine area, its culture, history, traditions, and economy.
Guests will also enjoy a visit to the workshop-museum of a local art glass maker, well-known for handcrafted Tiffany lamps and chandeliers, as well as stained-glass windows, decorated using the ancient grisaille painting technique.
