We were absolutely blown away with the amount of entries we received in The Mum Marketplace Awards 2023 and the volume of incredible products, brands and stories that got involved was truly inspirational.

The Mother and Baby industry is an oversaturated one, and often small brands don’t get a look in, competing with large scale marketing budgets and teams of people.

WHY ENTER 

The Mum and Parent industry is full of awards but no one does it like us.

Our unique judging process puts products to the test. Entries are judged by a panel of experts, influencers and parents, providing a perfect opportunity to showcase the quality and standard of your products, services and brands.

Awards are an integral part of many companies' growth strategies and help you stand out from the crowd. We know when our Mamas need something, they needed it yesterday and decision making can cause overwhelm. With overly saturated markets and fast-fashion domination, it’s essential to stand out and tell your story in a meaningful way.

Our categories have been curated based on consumer research and feedback, and we want to showcase innovative product design, sustainable structure and longevity and enable brands of all sizes to be able to tell their stories.

All winners will receive a beautifully curated content pack full of the judges and expert reviews, professional imagery, star ratings and your winning logos that can be used and repurposed forever in your own marketing, editorial and social channels. You will also regularly feature across our websites, social platforms and more.

If that wasn’t enough, here's what everyone had to say.

 

Now all that’s left to do is to choose your categories, head over to our 2024 category page to submit your entries today.
