Tom’s Guide Awards 2024 nominations — Submit your products now

Tom's Guide Awards 2024.

The Tom’s Guide Awards is back for its fifth year, and we’re celebrating the best-of-the-best products across a wide range of categories. From phones and laptops to home appliances and fitness gear, these awards are designed to highlight the very best devices and services for your money.

Our Hero awards recognize big-picture innovation, the best brand of the year, admirable efforts in diversity and sustainability and more. We’re excited to celebrate the people and companies that receive the highest honors. However, we also want to highlight products that provide excellent value since we understand that being able to find great tech for a bargain is important to many consumers.

Some new categories in 2024 include the best mattress, best pillow and all things related to getting a proper night’s rest. Likewise, we also have a dedicated AI award section this year to highlight all of the advancements that have been made in artificial intelligence.

The awards are free to enter and will be judged by Tom’s Guide’s resident specialists, but we still need your help to create the ultimate shortlists. Click here to nominate your favorite products of the year.


How to enter the Tom's Guide Awards

Companies can enter here for the Tom’s Guide Awards and submissions are free. We are taking nominations between now and June 17. We will announce all of the Tom’s Guide Awards winners starting in July.
