THE International Exposition Bureau will choose 33 top Expo pavilions based on appearances, exhibitions and presentation of the Expo theme from about 100 pavilions built by countries and international organizations.
Three awards -- gold, silver and bronze -- will be given to pavilions with the most innovative but easy to understand designs when awards are announced at the end of the Expo.
The result will be announced on October 30, the BIE Honor Day at the Expo.
The awards have been a tradition of World Expos since the first World Exposition in London in 1851. The competition stopped in 1985 at World Expo Brussels in Belgium and restarted in 2005 at World Expo Aichi in Japan.
The bureau aims to encourage pavilions to better present the Expo theme, said Vicente Loscertales, secretary-general of the Bureau of International Expositions and a member of the jury.
