There’s still time for UK suppliers, distributors and retailers, to include gift retailers, offering pre-school and/or children’s products for the 0-5 age group, to enter the Progressive Preschool Awards, with the closing date extended until next Friday, 5 July.
Entries are open across all categories. The awards are free to enter and entries can be made online by simply clicking this link. No samples are required.
This year sees the addition of a new retail accolade – Best Newcomer. To meet the criteria, retailers need to have been established within the last three years, and can be across any category of the preschool business (multiple or independent), online or bricks and mortar.
Companies can enter as many products or ranges as they like in the 0-5 years age range, launched and in retail between July 2023 and July 2024, with a maximum of five products per range, as long as they meet the criteria.
Products will again be judged by a panel of major and independent retail buyers, along with several specialist independent retailers.
All winners will be announced on Tuesday 12 November at London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel.
The awards have garnered support from a host of companies, which are on board as sponsors, including Acamar, Aykroyd & Sons, Azaria PR, BBC Studios, bébélephant, BTHA & London Toy Fair, Bump PR, DKB Toys & Distribution, Good Play Guide, H&A, Harrogate International Nursery Fair, Hasbro, Insights Family, Jazwares, Joie, Juratoys, Kids Industries, Media Snug, Misirli, Moonbug, Paramount, Penguin Ventures, Poetic Brands, Rainbow Designs, Redan Publishing, Toymaster, Trixie and Vista PR.
