Bluewater is proud to share that multiple interactive experiences we have created or supported have earned global recognition this year. From wins at the 2026 Eventex Awards to a shortlist placement for The WXO Experience Awards, known as the “Oscars of Experience,” these honors celebrate the creativity, technology, and collaboration behind some of our most memorable projects. For Scott Schoeneberger, Managing Partner at Bluewater, the recognition reflects the larger purpose behind the work:
“These recognitions are a reflection of the creativity, collaboration, and technical expertise that go into creating experiences people genuinely want to participate in. Whether we are supporting a partner’s vision or building one of our own immersive experiences like Glenlore Trails, our goal is always to create moments that connect people, spark emotion, and leave a lasting impression.”
Most recently, Bluewater was recognized across interactive technology, outdoor experiences, and seasonal experiences at Eventex, earning one Gold and two Bronze awards.

Ally’s Interactive LED Court at WNBA All-Star Weekend earned Gold in the Interactive Technology category.
Created in partnership with MKTG, this activation brought fans directly into the action through a custom interactive LED basketball court. The experience combined responsive gameplay, real-time engagement, and bold visual content to create a high-energy fan experience that reflected the excitement of WNBA All-Star Weekend.
Bluewater was honored to support MKTG in bringing this vision to life, helping transform the space into an immersive environment where fans could play, compete, and connect with the moment.
Eventex Bronze: Glenlore Trails Interactive Outdoor Experience
Glenlore Trails – Interactive Night Walk
Glenlore Trails, Bluewater’s own interactive night walk, earned Bronze in the Interactive Outdoor Experience category.
Set within an illuminated forest, Glenlore Trails blends lighting, audio, projection, interactive moments, and environmental storytelling to create a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience for guests of all ages. Each season invites visitors into a new world, encouraging exploration, play, and wonder along the trail.
This recognition adds to an exciting year for Glenlore Trails, which was also shortlisted earlier this year for the WXO Experience of the Year Award.
As the creators behind Glenlore Trails, Bluewater uses the experience as a living example of what can happen when creativity, technology, and storytelling come together in a physical environment.

Witching Hour at Glenlore Trails also earned Bronze in the Seasonal Experience category.
This fall experience transformed the trail into a spellbinding world filled with interactive moments, immersive lighting, themed environments, and magical surprises throughout the forest. Designed to be atmospheric, playful, and family-friendly, Witching Hour gave guests a seasonal experience that felt memorable, immersive, and worth returning to.
The recognition highlights not only the creative direction behind the experience, but also the technical execution required to bring a seasonal outdoor world to life night after night.
Creating Experiences That Invite Participation

We are honored to have this work recognized on a global stage and grateful to the clients, partners, and team members who helped make these experiences possible.
