Ahead of its return in March 2024, biennial kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms event KBB Birmingham has announced the launch of its 2024 Innovation Awards, in partnership with Blum. Now in its sixth year, the awards celebrate innovation within the KBB industry, recognising the most creative and ground-breaking solutions from brands in the sector. Areas of recognition include new methods and ideas or products that demonstrate innovation. The awards are open to all, with winners announced at KBB Birmingham in March next year.
Entries are now open, and entrants will be judged by a panel of industry experts. The judges will be taking on the challenge of deciding which brands, manufacturers and suppliers to the KBB industry, are bringing something new, unique and forward-thinking to the market.
The 2024 categories include Best Sustainable Design, Judges' Winner and People’s Choice Winner, which is chosen by visitors to the show. With a core focus on sustainability, the awards acknowledge the important work and crucial processes from the brands that are creating, promoting and delivering sustainable solutions to the KBB sector.
This year’s entries should clearly demonstrate the latest industry advances, which have launched since June 2022. Brands are encouraged to enter products, components and manufacturing techniques that are impacting the KBB market. Following the judging process, the 10 successful shortlisted entries will be displayed on the show floor at the NEC for the duration of the show. The winners will then be announced at kbb Birmingham in March 2024.
“We’re delighted to welcome entries for what is set to be an even bigger and more exciting Innovation Awards,” said Sam Fisher, event director, KBB Birmingham. “These awards give brands the opportunity to share the latest innovations with the kbb community and for the industry to recognise excellence in the market. We are looking forward to seeing this year’s entries and see what new innovations the industry has to offer two years on.”
