Entry into the retailer and supplier categories of the 2018 DIY Week Awards is now open.

With a host of all-new categories recognising excellence and innovation, the awards could be the perfect time for your company or product to shine.

This year we have expanded and refreshed the categories to keep pace with the changing home improvement and garden retail industry. New awards this year include Team of the Year, Website or Digital Initiative of the Year, Garden Leisure Product of the Year and Digital Investment.

All entries will be accepted online this year via the all-new awards site www.diyweekawards.co.uk, where full information about each category and the event itself can be found.

The DIY Week Awards celebrates the very best our vibrant industry has to offer. Being considered for an award is the perfect chance to have your hard work rewarded and provides the opportunity to get your or your product in front of a host of influential peers, including our independent judging panels.

The deadline for entries is Friday, December 15. Judging days will be held during February, when two dedicated retailer and product panels will review the entries and settle on a shortlist.

 The overall winners in each category will be announced at the DIY Week Awards luncheon, which will take place on Friday, May 11 at the Park Plaza in London Victoria.
