Toy Shop UK is hosting its 14th annual Independent Toy Awards this year as the online platform opens its 2021 awards programme for entries from now until August 12th. Suppliers are being urged to send in their hero product entries across any of the 30 categories in this year’s event.
The awards are recognised as unique within the industry, being the only ones that are voted for by the nation’s independent toy retailers who list themselves for free on the popular online directory.
Entries cost just £125 per product per category with discounts available for multiple entries.
Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals will be awarded to the three most popular toys in each category for use on packaging, catalogues, websites, trade stands, press releases and more. Runners up who obtain at least 10 per cent of any category’s votes will be awarded a “Commendation” logo.
Winners will be announced on Thursday 26th August.
