The brand, product, or collaboration must have bona fide retail distribution between January 2024 and January 2025.
In your submission, describe what was original or innovative about the brand, product, or promotion.

If your entry appears on the ballot, Licensing International may use one or more of these images during Finalists Week and/or the Awards Ceremony.

You can also include a video link. The decision to include any video links with the ballot is at the sole discretion of Licensing International.
