BPIA 2026 Concept & Innovation Awards Open for Entry

The Baby Products Industry Association (BPIA) is delighted to announce that its prestigious 2026 Concept & Innovation Awards are now open for entry – and innovators across the UK are invited to take part.

Whether you are a mum or dad with a brilliant idea, a product design student developing your final-year project, or an established company working on the next big thing in baby products, this is your opportunity to showcase your innovation to the nursery industry.

The awards champion new ideas in baby, nursery and maternity products – from prams and nursery furniture to safety equipment, toys, clothing and accessories. Entries must be products currently in development and not available for sale before 1st October 2026

Following the closing date of 12 noon on Friday 11th September 2026, a shortlist of entrants will be invited to present their concepts to an expert judging panel. Finalists will then have the invaluable opportunity to exhibit at the Harrogate International Nursery Fair (18th–20th October 2026), placing their ideas in front of leading retailers, buyers and manufacturers. The winner will be announced at the show.

The BPIA is particularly keen to see products that demonstrate innovation, strong commercial potential, safety awareness and consideration for sustainability and the evolving needs of modern parents

Over the years, the Concept & Innovation Awards have helped launch exciting new products into the UK market and remain a respected platform for emerging talent and fresh thinking.
