These Awards originally started in 1976 and were only hosted alongside the ABTT Theatre Show from 1984. This has progressed from the initial “product of the year” in 1979’s Awards to now nominate products in a variety of categories. These include, “Engineering”, “Sound”, ” Lighting”, “Widget” and now extend to “Stand of the Year”.

Product Awards are open to any company or individual whose products are substantially new to the market during the last twelve months and are available now for purchase, immediate delivery and use.

To be considered, all entries must be available for adjudication during the first day of the ABTT Theatre Show at London’s Alexandra Palace, either on their exhibition stand (if being exhibited) or hosted by one of the pre-registered exhibitors.
