AWARDS PROCESS

About the Awards
The TechRadar Choice Awards 2024 will award products and brands that have been deemed the best in their field as voted for by our TechRadar consumers and / or our judging panel. How the winners are selected and which products are eligible varies by award category.

Eligibility 
To be eligible for the TechRadar Choice Awards 2024, products need to be released after August 1, 2023, and before September 30, 2024. The following categories are exceptions to these dates, and products must only be available before September 30, 2024: Best Fitness App, Best Smart Lights, Best Gaming Service, and all Streaming categories. Products also need to be available for us to review if necessary – if we cannot review a product, it will not be considered for an award.

The confirmed categories are listed here. Future reserves the right to remove a category at any time. 

Nominations
The public can nominate brands to be included for consideration for the shortlists of the TechRadar Choice Awards. Nominations will close at 11:59pm BST on August 16, 2024. Nominations will be accepted via our TechRadar Choice Awards website www.techradarchoiceawards.com. To nominate you will simply need to select the category and insert the brand and product name. There is no limit on the number of nominations.

Shortlisting
Our editors will review all the nominations after the close date of August 16, 2024. Shortlists will be chosen by our editors from the nominations, as well as their own experience of the industry. There will be a maximum of 10 shortlisted products per category, but there may be less than this number.

Winner Selection
 
There are two types of categories: Editors’ Choice awards are in bold on the Categories page, and Readers’ Vote categories are all other categories on the Categories page. Editor’s Choice awards winners are chosen 100% by TechRadar’s judging panel of editors. Readers’ Vote categories are chosen equally based on the judges’ scores and the reader votes. The judges will review the shortlisted products to determine their ranking, scored 10 - 1 (first to last place). The reader voting will be tallied and then ranked as per the judges and scored 10 - 1 (first to last place). The shortlisted product with the highest combined score will be the winner. The judges’ decision is final. There are some additional categories beyond what’s listed on this page, but these are chosen by editors alone, and products cannot be nominated for them.
