The deadline for the Baby Products Industry Association’s (BPIA) 2024 Concept & Innovation Awards is just two weeks away, with entries closing on 30 August 2024. The Association invites the nursery industry and wider community, including students and budding entrepreneurs, to submit interesting product ideas for consideration.

The BPIA is keen to promote excellence and innovation in the nursery sector, and the annual awards support this. Over the years, numerous innovative ideas have been presented to judges, with many proceeding to market.

Commenting is Julie Milne, general manager of the BPIA. “The Concept & Innovation Awards highlight the ethos of our industry trade association. It encourages innovative thinking to produce new product ideas which are effective and safe and make the lives of parents and their babies a little easier. Each year, we are overwhelmed by the creativity and often groundbreaking designs of many entries.”

The entry form for the Concept & Innovation Awards is available to download here. The only clause is that product ideas must not be for sale before Harrogate International Nursery Fair, which takes place on 13-15 October 2024.
