The Baby Products Industry Association’s 2025 industry trade awards (which were previously known as the BANTAs) are now open for entry providing manufacturers and suppliers the opportunity to gain industry-wide recognition for fabulous baby products.
Julie Milne, general manager of the BPIA, explains: “Historically, the BPIA’s awards were always presented at Harrogate International Nursery Fair, but this year we’ve chosen to make an event at our AGM in London in June and present these much coveted awards there instead, open to the whole industry rather than limited to show exhibitors.
“This is a totally free event and there is no requirement to attend in order to enter the awards. If the winners are unable to attend, their award will be sent to them afterwards. We are aware of how much these trade awards are coveted and recognised by retailers and buyers as they are judged by industry colleagues and experts.”
There are 14 categories of Awards to enter including:
- Car seats
- Wheeled goods
- Feeding, weaning and soothers
- Nursery Furniture
- Carriers & slings
- Technology
- In the nursery
- Sleep time and accessories
- Baby toys (0-3 years)
- Walkers, bouncers and motivators
- In the bathroom
- Baby care
- Environment and sustainability
- Best New Innovation
Entry to the BPIA Awards for BPIA members is £75 for the first entry and £60 for subsequent entries; and for non-members £125 for the first entry and £110 for subsequent entries (+VAT). The closing date to enter is Friday 16th May 2025.
Winners will be announced at the BPIA’s AGM event in Central London on Tuesday 17th June 2025. The event is FREE and open to both members and non-members to attend, including free drinks and finger food, so save the date!
