Teach Early Years Awards first launched in January 2017, and the response from the sector was fantastic: more than 300 products, services and publications were nominated, from which our respected judging panel selected 38 winners, handing out five-, four- and three-star prizes in each category. The 2018 Teach Early Years Awards are now closed and our winners will be chosen by an expert panel of early years leaders, educators and authors. To ensure only the most-deserving resources triumph, entry is completely free.
Teach Early Years Awards is Teach Early Years magazine's awards scheme – a celebration of the breadth and quality of our sector's educational and professional development resources. It offers suppliers, manufacturers, publishers and service providers the chance to have their most innovative and effective products and publications recognised and shared with those they are designed to benefit.
Fill in the form on this website for each product or publication you wish to enter, and tell us why they deserve to win!
Five finalists will be shortlisted for each category and examples called in for assessment by our judging panel.
Our judges will select three winners in each category, awarding five-, four- and three-star prizes.
In 2018, our winners will be unveiled in issue 8.3 in August, and we'll be doing even more to share the success of those who emerge triumphant.
