For over 20 years Little Trekkers has been championing brands that support children and their families getting out into the great outdoors. In that time they have learned what makes a brand stand out from the rest. With that in mind they have launched their first of its kind – Little Trekkers Awards, to highlight such brands and give back to the industry. These awards are the only accolades that exclusively honour kids’ outdoor clothing and footwear (and everything in between).

Entries are now open for submissions, costing £75.00+VAT per entry, enter 2 categories and your 3rd category is free. There are also 6 free categories to enter as outlined below. The deadline for submissions is September 4th 2023 and you will then be requested to send a sample to Little Trekkers HQ, to be tested by one of their ambassadors “in the wild”. Once tested, each product will be scored and the top 5 rated in each category will be put to a public vote. Winners will be announced 6th November 2023.

If you win, you will be awarded a digital Award badge at no extra charge and can be used wherever you would like. There will be marketing packages available at an extra charge to include social media activity and email marketing. 

More info on the awards can be found here and you can enter here.
