The Oscars of the housewares industry – the Excellence in Housewares Awards 2025 – are now open for product and retail entries.
As always, entry to the awards is free of charge and there is no limit on submissions. All product entries are via the online entry portal on the Excellence in Housewares Awards entry portal – www.excellenceinhousewaresawards.co.uk.
Product entries must be new or significantly updated products or ranges which have been launched at retail between June 2024 and June 2025. New for this year is the Made In Britain category, reflecting the return of domestically produced ranges.
Retailers can enter themselves into any of the retail categories, whilst suppliers are also invited to nominate retailers for Excellence in Housewares Awards.
Product, retail and supplier awards finalists will be featured in the July/August issue of Progressive Housewares magazine. Winners will be revealed at The Excellence in Housewares Awards night on Wednesday 1 October at The Royal Lancaster London. Celebrating 25 years of rewarding excellence, this year’s event promises to be one, if not, the best yet – bringing together the entire sector to celebrate individual, company and collective achievements.
Rob Willis, director at Max Publishing which owns and organisers the event said: “We are delighted to be hosting the 25th year of the Excellence in Housewares Awards. For a quarter of a century, this event has recognised excellence in our industry and brought the housewares sector together to celebrate its collective achievements.
“We’d love to see the best entries ever for this, our 25th anniversary. We are proud that this event – and these awards – are the benchmark of the industry, with a continued existence and ever-improving, finitely organised judging process – plus of course remaining free to enter, meaning there is no commercial barrier for companies of all sizes. Marketing teams – you’re up!”
