The deadline for retailers to enter the Housewares Innovation Awards 2017 has been extended to Friday September 30.

If your shop has outstanding window displays, delivers excellent customer service, or drives innovative marketing initiatives, then you could be in with a chance of winning one of our coveted prizes.

The awards programme is organised by Housewares Magazine and its digital partner www.HousewaresLive.net in conjunction with the Spring Fair.

The awards will be presented at a glittering ceremony at The National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham on the evening of February 6 (during the Spring Fair).

Product entries and nominations are also welcome until September 30. So: suppliers and manufacturers, if you have ground-breaking and stunning products, we want to know about them. And retailers, if you are impressed by an outstanding product that you sell in your shop, why not nominate it for an Award?

Entering and nominating is really simple. Just visit www.housewaresinnovationawards.com, download the relevant form and submit it via post, email or fax.

Each category is independently judged by respected industry figures. Judging begins after the entry deadline and category shortlists are announced in November.
