The 2024 Licensing Awards are now open for entry – with a closing date of Thursday 30 May 2024.

All of the award categories – including those for licensed products, licensed properties, retail, marketing, honorary achievement, plus the awards for sustainability, international retail and licensed live events – can now be entered, for free, via the website.

The Licensing Awards 2024 (which is owned and organised by Max Publishing) cover licensed product launches, licensing activity and licensed retailing execution taking place between 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2024.

Entry and judging of all the product categories will once again be done online – the process is quick and easy and means that there is no need to send any physical samples of products.

As ever, the product awards will be judged by key retailers from across the UK market – last year more than 200 retailers judged the categories.

All categories are free to enter. Deadline for all entries is Thursday 30 May.

This year sees the introduction of a new category – Best Licensed Health & Beauty Range. This is open to all licensed health and beauty products or ranges aimed at children or adults (including fragrances, bath and body, cosmetics, personal care items and vitamins).
