Entries for the 2010 BACRAS will be accepted shortly
With so many new and innovative products launched at BPA Baby and Child each year, receiving a Baby and Child Recognition Award (BACRA) gives real kudos to any company. In 2009, the Baby Products Association added several exciting new categories to the awards: Bath Time, Sleep Time and Clothing and Accessories. Also, previously judged as one award, Wheeled Goods and Wheeled Goods Accessories are now two separate categories.
Judged by a panel of industry experts, BACRAs can be entered by all exhibitors at BPA Baby & Child 2010. Products are divided into categories and assessed for qualities such as innovation, practicality and environmental excellence. Entry to the BACRAs is totally free of charge and by winning; you will not only gain product recognition in consumer and trade press, but can use the BACRA logo on product literature and websites highlighting its award winning status to retailers and consumers alike.
