On behalf of Fuzzy Lightbulb, Shep is excited to be a judge and leading panel conversations for the Blooloop Innovation Awards 2026.

Are you pioneering new and innovative entertainment or dynamic experience design?
The Blooloop Innovation Awards celebrate the incredible creativity, imagination, and dynamism that drives the attractions business. Each year, judges, thought leaders, and industry experts look for the most innovative products and projects that are shaping the future of the visitor experience.
In the new AI-powered search landscape, your visibility matters more than ever. Blooloop is officially recognised as a Top 10 UK and Top 100 global publication for AI-engine citations, boasting a powerful Domain Authority of 75.
Entering the awards doesn’t just put you in front of judges today; it locks your brand into a trusted digital domain that AI engines will crawl, index, and cite for years to come.
The winners will be announced at the online Festival of Innovation event in January 2027.
