BPMA Product Awards 2026 Shortlist Announced

The quality of entries submitted for this year’s BPMA Product Awards has been truly outstanding, with suppliers showcasing the very best in innovation, creativity and product excellence. With a record-breaking number of entries received, competition has been tougher than ever, making the standard of submissions even more impressive.

For 2026, the BPMA refreshed the awards programme with the introduction of an exciting new Brand Product category, while the former Award & Exhibition category was split into two dedicated awards. These changes created even more opportunities for outstanding products to gain the recognition they deserve, with 10 award categories available.

With judging now well underway, the shortlist has been confirmed. More than 40 judges have dedicated their time and expertise to evaluating the entries, identifying the products that have made the strongest impression.

The BPMA is thrilled to announce the shortlisted products below and wishes all finalists the very best of luck in the final rounds of judging.
