Arriving At The Finalists

The Judging Process

Inset: Just a small proportion of the products laid out ready to be judged. Right: Over 140 retailers, from many different sectors judged the product entries this year.

Take 5,000 licensed products; over 140 retail buyers; an impressive roster of property, marketing and Rising Star UK submissions; hundreds of retail nominations and several judging panels of industry experts and what do get? The Licensing Awards 2019â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 190+ finalists in the 28 award categories, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what! Tonight weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out who will receive these prestigious licensing honours, but here we explain how the finalists and winners were arrived at.

All About The Awards

The Licensing Awards, (owned and organised by Max Publishing, owners of The Licensing Source Book and LicensingSource) recognise and reward excellence right across the licensing spectrum - in licensed merchandise, retailing execution, licensed property management, marketing promotions as well as an Honorary Achievement award for a special individual who has contributed greatly to the industry. In addition, for the fourth year running the Licensing Awards also encompass the Licensing International UK Rising Star award, which shines the spotlight on young licensing professionals under 30 years of age. The judging process for each of the different categories of awards differs in each case, duly tailored to arrive at the credible finalists and winners.

Above: The Licensing Awards website is home to the entry forms for all categories.

The Product Award Categories Who Entered? Licensees and licensors were invited to enter licensed product ranges that had been launched into UK retail (or significantly modified) in year June 1 2018 to May 31 2019. All entries had to be licence-specific (ie based on one licensed property) and each entry could be for a range, rather than a specific item. The only exception to this was the Innovation Award, which could be for a specific item. Inset: Some of the licensed toys and games products that were entered.

Arriving At The Finalists

Below: Among the judging panel this year were (left-right): Mark Court (The Entertainer), Kasha Tarasiuk (Tesco), Jay Binstead (Forbidden Planet), Caroline Bromilow (John Lewis), Pete Selby (WHSmith) and Laura Bennett (Miniclub).

How Were The Entries Judged?

The judging for the product categories took place on a single day in July at the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal FC, which saw a massive pitchside suite transformed into a veritable ‘department store of licensed merchandise’! All entries were displayed by product category, each clearly labeled with a unique entry number and RRP for the products. The judges (all of whom are retail buyers) individually considered all entries in each category against the criteria of the excellence of design, innovation and originality; consumer targeting and quality of manufacture and packaging. Above: Totting up the points. They then individually selected what they deemed were the five best entries in that category. A judging form was completed by detailing the corresponding entry numbers in order of merit on the form. Points were then awarded accordingly; five points assigned to the entries judges felt were the best in the category down to one point for the fifth choices. The points from all the judges’ forms were then amalgamated to arrive at the winner and the finalists for each category. The Innovation award differs slightly from the other product category awards in that it could be for a specific product (rather than a range). For this award judges were asked to view the entries for their innovative quality – either in the product’s design, manufacture or application of a licence.

Who Judged The Entries? The entire responsibility of judging the entries to the Product Award categories of this year’s Licensing Awards lay in the collective hands of this year’s judging panel. This year over 140 different retail buyers (from right across the retail spectrum and from different buying disciplines) formed the official judging panel for the product categories. This year’s Judging Panel comprised buyers from Asda, Character.com,Debenhams, The Entertainer, FatFace, Forbidden Planet, Halfords, Hamleys, JoJo Maman, Bébé, John Lewis, M&Co, Marks & Spencer, Matalan, Merlin Entertainment, Miniclub, Moonpig, Morrisons, Mothercare, Next, Paultons Park, Primark, River Island, Sainsbury’s Argos, Tesco, Toymaster, TruffleShuffle and WHSmith as well as specialist independents. All retailers who are part of the BLE Retail Mentoring programme were also invited to join the judging panel. Inset: The judging of the product categories of The Licensing Awards took place at the Emirates Stadium in London. Left: Judging in progress!

Arriving At The Finalists The Property Award Categories

The Retail Award Categories

The finalists in the retailer award categories were arrived at as a result of an exhaustive nomination/selfnomination process followed by validation by a panel comprising over 25 top industry experts (both licensees and licensors). Thousands of nomination forms were sent out to manufacturers, suppliers and importers of licensed products inviting them to state, in their opinion, which three retailers have excelled in their retail delivery of licensed merchandise to the public in the year to May 31 2019). In addition, retailers were encouraged to selfnominate, and a growing number did so, detailing their achievements and progress on the licensing front. The consolidated results of this nomination process as well as the self-nominations were presented to a panel of industry experts. The retail validation meeting of this panel, chaired by Richard Pink (managing director of Pink Key Licensing), resulted in the finalists and outright winners of the retail categories being ratified.

Licensors and brand owners were invited to enter the Best Licensed Property Award categories by making online submissions to a dedicated website. The submissions demonstrated how well the property had performed over the last year against a set of criteria. A wide panel of knowledgeable licensees and retailers (from a number of different disciplines) were then invited to consider these online submissions before giving their confidential votes for what they consider have been the top licensed properties over the last year. These votes were then validated by industry experts.

Promotional And Retail Marketing Awards Reflecting the swathe of retail activations based on licensed properties as well as a wealth of activity on the promotional side, it was a tough job for the panel of experts who judged the Best Above: Members of the Judging Panel for the Promotional And Licensed Retail Marketing Retail Marketing awards. Initiative and Best Licensed Promotions Campaign award categories. Entries for both these awards were submitted online which were considered by members of a judging panel which comprised executives from the promotional, marketing, licensing and advertising fields. They considered entries against criteria, which included the objectives of the promotion, the creative use of the licence and the campaign execution. The entries were then discussed at a judging session to arrive at an overall winner and the other finalists. The Judging Panel for these two awards was chaired by Richard Pink, director of licensing and promotions specialist Pink Key Licensing (4th from the top) with the judging panel for this award category comprising (from the top down) Barbara Robinson (licensing consultant), Kelvyn Gardner (managing director of Asgard Media and Licensing International UK), Gabrielle Sims, (head of licensing at FatFace, Clare Piggott (managing director of Larkshead Media) and Abigail Dixon, director of Labyrinth Marketing. As Richard commented: “This year’s entry submissions were incredibly strong and varied, reflecting the growing importance of licensing within the promotions and retail activations arenas.”

Rising Stars In The Cosmos The Licensing International UK Rising Star award is designed to recognise excellence among junior licensing industry professionals (under the age of 30 years old). Nominations were sought from throughout the industry with the finalists decided by a panel discussion instigated by Licensing International. Although organised by the trade association, Licensing International, the winner is presented as part of the Licensing Awards, with each of the six nominees receiving a free ticket to the event. “The new talent coming through in UK licensing is truly remarkable. All finalists have shown true achievement and promise of more to come,” said Kelvyn Gardner, managing director of Licensing International UK.

At the top of the tree is headline sponsor, Brand Licensing Europe, which had no hesitation in pledging its commitment once again this year. As Anna Knight, event director of Brand Licensing Europe commented: "A huge congratulations to all of this year's Licensing Awards finalists - it's a huge accolade to be recognised by what are fondly known as 'The Oscars' of this industry. At BLE we have highlighted several categories that we believe are full of opportunity - publishing, heritage, interiors, animation and gaming - so it's brilliant to see the likes of Elmer, Right: Vernon Kay is hosting The Roald Dahl, Fortnite, Pokémon, Moomin, Hey Duggee Licensing Awards this year. and the Natural History Museum are all on the shortlist. We're honoured to be headline sponsor once again and we're looking forward to celebrating with everyone on the night."

Best Licensed Retail Marketing Initiative Open to: This award is for the most creative and effective marketing campaign run in a UK retailer to support a range of licensed products or individual product.

The campaign must have appeared in the UK market during the period 1 April 2018 – 1 April 2019. It could have been part of a broader European campaign, but it is the execution on the UK market that was judged.
