The closing date to enter the Baby Products Industry Association’s 2025 industry trade awards – previously known as the BANTAs – is Friday 16 May 2025. Commenting on the awards, which are open to both BPIA members and non-members, is the Association’s general manager, Julie Milne.

“Historically, the BPIA’s awards were always presented at Harrogate International Nursery Fair. This year we’ve chosen to make an event at our AGM in London in June and present these much-coveted awards there instead, open to the whole industry rather than limited to show exhibitors.

“This is a totally free event and there is no requirement to attend in order to enter the awards. If the winners are unable to attend, their award will be sent to them afterwards. We are aware of how much these trade awards are coveted and recognised by retailers and buyers, as they are judged by industry colleagues and experts.”

There are 14 categories of Awards to enter

The award categories are: Car seats; Wheeled goods; Feeding, weaning and soothers; Nursery Furniture; Carriers & slings; Technology; In the nursery; Sleep time and accessories; Baby toys (0-3 years); Walkers, bouncers and motivators; In the bathroom; Baby care; Environment and sustainability; and Best New Innovation.

Entry to the BPIA Awards for BPIA members is £75 for the first entry and £60 for subsequent entries. For non-members, it is £125 for the first entry and £110 for subsequent entries (+VAT).

Winners will be announced at the BPIA’s AGM event in London on Tuesday 17 June 2025. The event is free and open to both members and non-members and includes free refreshments. For award entry forms, please click here.
