The BPIA has named three finalists for its 2026 Concept & Innovation Awards: Eimear Campbell for Swishroll™, an innovative stroller-wheel cleaning aid; Natasha Artwell for Little Pair, a portable support concept for twins; and Hegen for a multifunctional premium feeding and drinkware system.

The judging panel – industry experts with decades of combined nursery-trade experience – interviewed each shortlisted entrant. The sessions gave entrants practical advice and valuable feedback to help refine their product concepts.

The finalists will be featured on the BPIA Concept & Innovation stand, opposite BPIA stand C15, throughout the Harrogate International Nursery Fair. Final judging will take place at the show, and the winner will be announced on Sunday 18 October 2026.

The awards are again sponsored by Brabners, a specialist law firm with expertise in intellectual property and product compliance. The winner will receive £1,000 of legal advice from Brabners, a product development support session with Plan A Product Development, and mentoring from BPIA Chair Marc Hardenberg.

Together, these prizes offer the winner specialist knowledge, practical expertise and industry guidance to help turn their innovative concept into a commercial success.
