Retailers and manufacturers can nominate products for entry into one or more of the product categories, with a panel of industry experts set to judge all nominated products that are received.

Readers and the wider industry can also vote in seven additional categories, which will honour individuals, manufacturers and retailers.

Those nominating their products will be contacted in due course with further details and the address for product delivery.
