Product of the Year applications are now open!
Shining the spotlight on NH’s innovators
The 19th annual Product of the Year competition will highlight the best innovation from New Hampshire in the last year. Finalists receive exposure locally throughout the judging process and globally at the live streamed event.
Applications are now open for Product of the Year. Please review the Eligibility and Process below before submitting your application.
Eligibility
All of the criteria below must be met:
- Companies must have either a headquarters, subsidiary or division based in New Hampshire
- Products must have been released or significantly updated within the last 12 months
- Products must meet the broad categorization of high tech and/or advanced manufacturing
The application fee is waived for NH Tech Alliance members and is $350 for courtesy members and non-members. Applications are due by October 6th, 2025.
Process
After the application deadline closes, up to ten finalists are selected by a panel of esteemed judges with entrepreneurial and investing experience, as well as some past winners. Those ten finalists present their product to the judges committee. The judges will then narrow the selection down to five finalists to present at the December event.
The event will consist of seven minute presentations live from the Bank of NH Stage and will be live streamed on the NHTA YouTube Channel by Events United.
After the presentations, audience members vote for their favorite product. The final winner will be selected by combining the audience choice and the judges choice with equal weight. The Product of the Year is announced at the end of the event.
