BDNY PRODUCT DESIGN COMPETITION

The 2025 Best of BDNY Product Design Competition recognizes manufacturers of products that demonstrate functionality, aesthetic progress, and innovation in their respective categories.

The cost to enter is $800 for first entry, $150 for subsequent entries. An optional upgrade for $800 is available to have additional exposure during BDNY off of the main aisle. Companies may submit more than one product for review; however, each product can only be submitted once per category. The total number of different product submissions is unlimited, across categories or in the same category.

Submission Deadline: October 31, 2025

This submission fee includes: Guaranteed placement of one product per company (including image and description copy) in Boutique Design’s Winter 2025 issue in digital format, which includes bonus digital distribution to past BDNY attendees and registered attendees of BDNY 2025, in a special 2025 product showcase section. Competition winners and finalists, selected onsite by the judges, will be prominently featured in Boutique Design’s Winter edition in The Source products section, online on hospitalitydesign.com, and promoted via e-blast to the Boutique Design magazine subscriber list.

The judging panel will meet ahead of BDNY to review and create a shortlist of entries. On Sunday, November 9, they will walk the trade fair floor to review these entries (judges will not be able to view every entry in person or set specific booth appointments) and select the winners and finalists.
