1. Entry Criteria

Brands entering the Organic & Sustainable Baby Awards must meet at least one of the following criteria:

• The product uses organic ingredients, materials or textiles where possible.

• The product is made from natural materials, such as wood or bamboo (for example wooden toys or nursery furniture).

• The product has eco-friendly or sustainable features, or helps to reduce waste (for example reusable nappies or refill systems).

• The product or service helps reduce consumer waste, such as clothing rental services, equipment rental services or circular parenting initiatives.

• The company demonstrates a clear commitment to sustainability, such as producing in small batches, repurposing offcuts, or using materials that would otherwise go to waste.

If you are unsure whether your product meets the eligibility criteria, please contact hello@organicbabyawards.com.

2. Entry Deadline

All entries must be completed and paid for before the published entry deadline listed on the Key Dates page.

Incomplete or unpaid entries will not be accepted.

3. Entry Rules

• You may enter a product into multiple relevant categories.

• There is no limit to the number of products you may submit, however the correct entry package must be selected to account for the amount of items entered

• Products do not need to be currently available on the market, but you must be able to provide product samples or prototypes before the judging deadline.

• The Organic & Sustainable Baby Awards reserve the right to move an entry into a more appropriate category if necessary. This is done to give entries the best possible opportunity during judging.

• We may merge or cancel categories if there are insufficient entries.

4. Product Samples

Most entries require two product samples:

• one for our judging team
• one for our real parent testing panel

Some items may require additional samples (for example nappies, wipes or food products). Larger items such as prams, cots or furniture usually require one sample only.

Sample requirements will be confirmed after entry.

All samples must arrive before the sample deadline listed on the Key Dates page.

Please note:

• Samples are non-returnable
• We recommend sending samples via a tracked delivery service
• The Organic & Sustainable Baby Awards are not responsible for samples lost or damaged in transit

License Fee & Logo Use

5. Winner License Fee

If your product wins an award and you choose to accept it, a license fee is payable for each award accepted.

The license fee grants lifetime use of the official Organic & Sustainable Baby Awards winner logo for the specific product that received the award.

The license fee must be paid before the logo or award badge may be used.

6. Permitted Use of the Award Logo

Once the license fee has been paid, the winner logo may be used for promotional purposes including and not limited to:

• product packaging
• websites
• social media
• marketing materials
• print advertising
• retail displays or point of sale

The logo may only be used in relation to the specific product that won the award, unless the award won was in relation to the entire ‘brand’ or ‘range’.

7. Restrictions

The award logo may not be used if the license fee has not been paid.

You may not:

• create your own version of the awards logo or badge
• modify or alter the official logo in any way
• imply that a product has won an award if the license has not been purchased
• use a purchased logo for one product to promote another product

Any misuse of the awards logo may result in the revocation of the license.

8. Intellectual Property

All award logos, badges and associated artwork remain the intellectual property of The Organic & Sustainable Baby Awards Ltd.

The license granted to winners is non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable.

9. Termination of License

We reserve the right to withdraw logo usage rights if the terms outlined above are breached.

If a license is revoked, the logo must be removed from all marketing materials, packaging and digital platforms immediately.

10. Liability

The Organic & Sustainable Baby Awards accept no liability for damages, losses or claims arising from participation in the awards or the use of the awards logo.

11. Amendments

We reserve the right to update or amend these Terms & Conditions at any time. Updated terms will be published on the website.

Disclaimer

The Organic & Sustainable Baby Awards recognise products and services that demonstrate organic or sustainable qualities as described in our entry criteria.

However, receiving an award does not constitute verification of organic certification claims.

It is the responsibility of each brand to ensure that any organic or sustainability claims made about their products are accurate and compliant with relevant regulations.

Consumers should always conduct their own research when making purchasing decisions.
