Following news that the annual awards event has moved to a new time and place for next year, entry to both the retailer and product categories is now open.
The awards website www.diyweek.net/awards went live earlier this week with all the information needed to enter or attend the forthcoming industry awards.

A number of fantastic judges have already been lined up to take part in our independent panels judging the product and retail categories, with more names to be announced nearer the time.

The DIY Week Awards are designed to recognise innovation in products across the DIY and garden sector, as well as rewarding successful and forward-thinking retail businesses who stand out and are helping to move the market on.

Don't miss your chance to have your hard work recognised and bag a Gold award on the night.

DIY Product of the Year
Decorating Product of the Year
Hardware Product of the Year
Hand Tool of the Year
Power Tool of the Year
