The high-profile event, which takes place annually in Las Vegas, honors brands who execute innovative and creative methods to market themselves around the globe.
Winners in 32 categories were selected from nearly 200 finalists by an expert global panel across 20 different countries and voted on by members of the licensing industry at large.

"We are proud of U.S. Polo Assn.'s nomination for the Best Sport Licensed Brand as we continue to drive record growth for our global brand through strategic partnerships, award-winning global marketing and digital campaigns, and most importantly, elevating the consumer experience," says J.
