New Product Showcase Best Of Show Award

Far outpacing its competition in media votes, first-time exhibitor 3D Picture Store, Inc. won the New Product Showcase Best of Show award at the recent International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST) show. Its 3D artwork in the Giftwear category, “Exploring Smallmouth,” was part of the show's 400,000 sq. ft. New Product Showcase, which provides special visibility for the industry's innovative gear and accessories. ICAST is the world's largest sportfishing trade show, held this year in Las Vegas.

3D Picture Store creates unique 3D pictures suitable for framing, which can be viewed without 3D glasses. These high-quality images feature underwater shots of both freshwater and saltwater fish, as well as hunting scenes and wildlife game in their natural surroundings. Ideal for decorating a home, boat, RV, office or cabin, all 3D Picture Store artwork is manufactured in the US. Musky Hunter magazine recently featured one of the company's images on its cover.

"My congratulations go to the winners and to all the companies who worked hard to develop these innovations," said American Sportfishing Association president and CEO Mike Nussman, who presented the awards. Fishing Tackle Retailer magazine sponsored the competition.
