The 2021 Toy Industry Awards took place on January 25th, the first day of Toy Fair.
About the awards
For reasons that don't need explaning, the 2022 awards were held virtually for the first time. Usually though, the lavish Toy Industry Awards are attended by all the major players in the toy industry. They are organised by the British Toy & Hobby Association together with the Toy Retailers Association.
Whilst some awards have come and gone, many new ones are being introduced to reflect changing toy categories and personalities.
The Toy Industry Awards evening is really all about celebrating excellence in the industry - and the three main awards that everyone keeps a close eye on are the Toy of the Year, the Toy Retailer of the Year and the Toy Supplier of the Year.
