Closing date

Entries will close on 31 October, 2023

Our panel of expert judges will then draw up a shortlist for each category before commencing the final judging and announcing the winners.

At this point, we do need to see and try the products on the shortlists to consider them for an award. However, we have been assessing some new gear at OTS and at the various manufacturer events this summer.

Winners announcement

The awards results will be announced online ahead of the NEC show in February 2024

The results will also be published in a special issue of Camping magazine on sale in February 2024.

The winners will also be heavily promoted through social media and our large email databases and on our website.

Entry qualifications

As always, the focus is mainly on new or upgraded products for the camping market and those launched within the last year.

However, this year we have decided to again open up the awards to every product that will be on the market in 2024.


Thank you for your entries and good luck!
