HOW THE AWARDS WORK
All successfully vetted products are judged against one another on the strength of their innovation alone – there are no product categories.
The judges can award up to eight Innovation Awards - one of which can be upgraded to a Gold Award for excellence.
Plus, the judges can present one Sustainability Award for a product that shows impressive eco credentials.
