The public vote is now open for the OIA UK Outdoor Industry Awards 2026.
Entrants have a chance to win VIP tickets to the National Outdoor Expo or ticket vouchers for the Kendal Mountain Festival, by voting for outdoor products in 10 different categories.
The categories are: accessories, backpacks/travel luggage, camping equipment, climbing equipment, clothing, footwear, sleeping, sustainability, tents and tech accessories.
The awards, organised by the Outdoor Industries Association (OIA) received more than 100 entries from across the outdoor industry, which were displayed during the industry’s only UK outdoor trade event, the Outdoor Trade Show (OTS), in Liverpool in June 2025.
At the show, a judging panel selected the most innovative outdoor products as finalists, which are now subject to the public vote to find the winner in each category.
All votes are entered into a prize draw, to be in with a chance of winning two VIP tickets to the 2026 National Outdoor Expo in Birmingham, plus a meet and greet with a celebrity speaker. Five pairs of tickets are up for grabs. There are also two £100 vouchers for the 2026 Kendal Mountain Festival as prizes.
