The 12 categories that brands can enter into are:

Products will be reviewed by Condé Nast Traveller’s award winning team, led by esteemed Beauty Director Anita Bhagwandas, and Global Editorial Director Divia Thani.
Across each of the 12 categories, the team will consider why each winner should take up valuable packing space or be part of a holiday prep routine; and selecting the most hard-working and efficient travel beauty must-haves for 2026.
Winners and shortlisted entries of each Condé Nast Traveller Beauty Award will be celebrated in the July/August beauty special issue, across the Condé Nast Traveller website and social media channels. Winning brands can purchase usage rights of the winner's logo for marketing purposes, and to give a much-trusted CNT stamp of approval.
Entries will close on Friday 13 March 2026.
