Category changes
We believe we have the most comprehensive parenting awards in the UK, so we have quite a few categories. Sometimes this can lead to a product being placed in one category when it would be better placed in another. If you're unsure which category to choose, do let us know.
On some occasions we will move entries into more appropriate categories, or change category names. We always do this with the aim of giving entries the best chance when shortlisting and judging. We also reserve the right to add extra judging criteria to any category to ensure the products are judged comprehensively and fairly.
Unfortunately we won’t be able to let entrants know about the category move before the results are announced.
Product samples
For ALL entries we will request 3 samples of each product, apart from a few smaller products (such as nappies, wipes and food) where we will require 4 samples. Please note:
- Your product cannot be considered for judging if requested samples are not sent by the judging deadline
- We're unable to refund entry fees if you're unable to deliver the samples by the required time
- We're unable to return samples after judging
