About NCSC Awards

Celebrating great initiatives that drive the industry forward!



NCSC Awards starts with national competitions in each Nordic country, whose winners then compete against each other in the NCSC Nordic Awards finale. The first Nordic competition was held 2009 and as of 2018 the Nordic winner in category Best Shopping Center goes on to compete in ICSC European Awards. The purpose of the competition is to support the development of the shopping center industry by recognizing the best, most innovative and creative initiatives in the Nordics.
