BPIA announces finalists for 2026 Concept & Innovation Awards

The BPIA has announced the three finalists for its 2026 Concept & Innovation Awards: Eimear Campbell with Swishroll, an aid designed to clean stroller wheels; Natasha Artwell with Little Pair, a new concept for portable support for twins; and Hegen, with a multifunctional premium feeding and drinkware system.

The shortlisted entrants were interviewed by the awards judging panel, which comprises industry experts with extensive experience across the nursery trade. The sessions provided feedback and practical advice to help the finalists further develop their product concepts.

All three finalists will be showcased at the BPIA Concept & Innovation stand during the Harrogate International Nursery Fair, with final judging taking place at the show. The winner will be announced on 18 October 2026.

The awards are sponsored by Brabners, which will provide the winner with £1,000 worth of legal advice. The prize package also includes a product development support session from Plan A Product Development and a mentoring session with BPIA Chair Marc Hardenberg.

Together, the prizes are intended to provide the winner with specialist knowledge, practical expertise and industry guidance to support the development of the concept towards commercial success.
