PRODUCT SUBMISSIONS
How do I enter?
To submit your products for consideration, follow these steps or click here for more detailed instructions:
- Log in to your CEW Member account or create a non-member profile.

- Complete the payment process.

- Fill out the product information form for each product you’re entering in each category.
How do I checkout if I am submitting multiple products by multiple brands?
You can select all applicable award categories and check out in one transaction. If you want to submit more than one product to a single category, increase the quantity for this category in your shopping cart. You will specify the brand/product information for each category after the purchase process is complete.
I am unsure what category my product falls under. What should I do?
Submit your product under the category that seems most appropriate. All submissions are reviewed by Circana, a leading consumer research group, to ensure they are placed in the correct categories. If your product fits better in a different category, we will contact you to make the necessary change.
How many products can I submit?
There is no limit! Brands may enter as many products as they’d like in each category. A product can be entered multiple times if additional categories include: Indie, Natural/Textured Hair Product, Sustainability Excellence.
I want to submit three products in one category. How many entry fees will I pay?
Entry fees are charged per product, per category. For example, if you enter three products in the Moisturizer category, you will pay three entry fees. If you want to enter one product in both the Indie category and the Skin Tools category, you will pay two entry fees.
Are samples required for entry?
Product samples may be requested to ensure products meet entry criteria and for review by the CEW Finalist Nominating Committee during finalist voting. Please do not send product unless requested.
