Application for:

Choose and apply for nominations (you can apply to one, two or all three awards)

Category Specialist Award

Over the past year, have you as Category Specialist* impressed your retail partners because of your outstanding collaboration or performance with them? Please submit a detailed description and evidence of your outstanding achievement.

This could include a share increase within their respective category, margin achievement, jointly aligned activities across all sales channels (online/in-store/social media), product innovation, sales growth), etc.

*We define Category Specialists as brands which are typically active only in one specific category (i.e. not across multiple categories) or even only in a subcategory. Category Specialists can often be trendsetters.


Technology Innovation Award

Which of your brand’s innovations over the past year have enabled your retail client to demonstrate a new technology to the shopper in the best way, thereby exciting the customer?

This could be any type of innovation: a new feature, a product design, a new product, or the creation of a whole new category. It could also be the reinvention or shifting of a category (for example creating higher value for the whole category).


Sustainability Award

The TCG retail industry is increasingly aware of its environmental responsibilities. It is clear that consumer and legislative pressure is also building and could force businesses and manufacturers to take dramatic steps to improve sustainability. For 2020, we are launching this new category to focus on the genuine innovations and strategic solutions being developed by industry partners that are starting to deliver positive and significant environmental and/or social gains and improvements.

Over the past two years, has your company started or implemented a game-changing innovation or initiative, be it strategic or technologically-led, that you can demonstrate has led to environmental improvements? For example, having impact on emissions, consumption of natural resources, waste and recycling or people benefits either within your business, your product sourcing and manufacturing and/or your customers?


Retailer Relevance Award

In a world where major new trends are reshaping TCG retail once again*, can you, as a retailer, show us real use cases how you innovate/have innovated towards these new forces in order to remain relevant in such a world:

Examples:

  • New store formats:

    • The return to smaller, more specialized, more local to customers
    • Creation of true experience stores
  • Frictionless POS
  • Services: Tech advice / technical expertise, Installation services, In-home services (e.g. home connectivity healthcheck > SmartHome),
  • Subscription models
  • Value added content
  • Others

For online retailers:

  • Opening of physical stores
  • Any other disruptive, meaningful innovation along the customer journey or value chain

*E.g.: Rise/dominance of global mega-onliners: Amazon, Alibaba; V-Commerce (voice); F-commerce (Facebook/social)
