The Product of the Year Awards 2011 is now open for entries - giving you the chance to prove that you have one of the best innovations in the marketplace.
The awards recognise the industry's innovation, imagination and creativity, both in developing new ideas and taking existing ones to a new level, and it couldn't be easier to enter.

It can all be done online at www.diyweek.net/productoftheyear. Simply fill in the details on the entry form and submit them (or print a hard copy entry form and post it to us), send us the product and it will then be assessed by our independent panel of retail judges.

And if you think you have more than one winner you can enter them all.

A prestigious line up of sponsors for the event already includes Akzo Nobel, who is sponsoring the drinks reception and awards lunch, Black & Decker, Home Hardware, Sam's Trade Centre, the Totally shows, Spring Fair International and Autumn Fair International.

Deadline for entry to the awards, which are organised by DIY Week and Housewares, is February 14.

Winners will be revealed at the prestigious awards lunch in London on May 13, when hundreds of top buyers and executives will gather at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel for a day of networking, fine dining and entertainment.
