With the deadline of Friday 10 April 2026 fast approaching, the Baby Products Industry Association (BPIA) is urging companies across the baby products sector to submit their entries for the prestigious BPIA 2026 Industry Trade Awards, proudly sponsored by Nursery Today.
Recognised as one of the industry’s most respected accolades, the BPIA Awards are judged by an expert panel of retailers, trade media, marketing professionals and product safety specialists. Products are rigorously assessed for quality, safety, functionality, marketability and consumer appeal — providing trusted, independent endorsement that resonates strongly with buyers and decision-makers.
Retailers actively look for the BPIA Awards logo when selecting ranges, recognising it as a mark of credibility and excellence within the sector. For brands seeking meaningful industry recognition, these Awards represent a powerful opportunity to stand out.
This year, entries will also support an important cause. The BPIA has partnered with Newlife, the charity dedicated to changing what it means to grow up with a disability in the UK. All shortlisted products submitted for judging will be donated to Newlife to help raise vital funds through its retail network — giving products a valuable second life while supporting children and families in need.
The Awards will be presented on 10 June 2026 at the BPIA Networking Event in Central London.
Companies are encouraged not to delay — submit entries before 10 April to be part of this celebrated industry event while making a positive difference.
Do you have a colleague who deserves industry recognition?
As part of its 2026 Awards programme, the Baby Products Industry Association (BPIA) is delighted to announce the Outstanding Industry Contribution Award, proudly sponsored by Nursery Today magazine.
This award celebrates individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to the UK nursery industry. Nominations may recognise a wide range of achievements — from a sales agent who consistently goes above and beyond, to a nursery retail assistant who has raised significant funds for charity, or an industry stalwart whose decades of dedication have helped shape the sector.
Nominations are free of charge.
If you know a colleague whose outstanding contribution deserves recognition, we encourage you to submit a nomination.
The deadline for nominations is Friday 6 April 2026.
