IBU mobile App wins prestigious digital media awards

The IBU is proud to announce that its new mobile app has been awarded two Grand One awards. The IBU App presented as ”A game-changer for Biathlon”, won the Grand Prix for the best service overall and the category for best mobile service. The jury was especially impressed with the service implementation of the mobile app which „reflects the traditions of Scandinavian design: simplicity and functionality.“

Grand One is Finland's largest digital media competition that took place for the 21st time in 2022. At yesterday's Awards Gala at Kattilahalli, the winners were presented in nineteen categories, in addition to the Company of the Year and Grand Prix winners in the service and campaign categories. 

The IBU has partnered with Finnish designers Petri Pennanen & Mikko Kiviniemi to create the service designs for the app, which was then implemented by Finnish digital transformation agency Vincit. 

Grand One is intended for Finnish digital media works that have been published or greatly redesigned between 29 January 2021 until 20 January 2022. 

The awarded categories are divided into three main areas; Marketing Communications & Content, Data & Innovation and Design & User Experience. The works awarded by Grand One must be planned in Finland but may be implemented internationally.
