Entries have opened for The Boutique Star Awards 2026. The awards celebrate the success and dedication of the best independent retailers, agents and brands in the business. 

Entry to the awards remains free and business owners can put themselves forward for any categories they are eligible for ahead of the submission deadline later this year. Industry peers and insiders are also encouraged to nominate colleagues across all award categories.

Retailers and suppliers will be invited to submit a short overview of their business, alongside supporting evidence, for consideration by a panel of independent industry judges. Winners will be revealed at a celebratory winners’ party on 12 November.

The entry deadline is 31 July. For more information, visit boutique-magazine.co.uk.
