GQ has announced that entries are now open for its ninth annual Grooming Awards. Following a testing and selection process by an expert panel, the winning products will be announced at an invitation-only event at the beginning of October, and will feature in the November issue of GQ. In addition to the categories listed below there are two awards for which the readers of GQ.co.uk can vote: Reader's All-Time Favourite Fragrance, and Best Grooming Range.

The categories eligible for submission are: Fragrance, Skincare, Body, Tech, Shave and Haircare. To qualify, products will have been launched since October 2015 or will be launched before October 2016, and GQ will only judge new products (exclusion applies to manual razors). Unisex products are eligible for entry. 

To enter, a product press release with the relevant category mentioned in the subject line should be sent to the team via the e-mail address in the link below. Successful submissions will then be required to send in multiple samples – one per judge. The deadline for submissions is 29 June.
