Meanwhile, retailers are invited to self-nominate for any category via the easy online portal – at HERE.
Retailers are particularly encouraged to submit images and/or summaries for:

And

“In these extraordinary times, it seems all the more important to recognise the great lengths that housewares retailers are going to in order to rise to unprecedented challenges and connect with, and help their customers and communities,” said Jo Howard, editor of HousewaresNews.net and Progressive Housewares (organiser of The Excelence in Housewares Awards). “If you are a supplier, please take a little time to recognise your outstanding stockists, and if you are a retailer, please show us your wonderful displays and tell us about your inspiring initiatives.”
New retailer categories for 2020 include Best Garden Centre and Best Supermarket.
