Clarity, the UK hi-fi industry’s trade body, is returning to The Bristol Show to present the annual industry awards to companies and individuals working in the industry. And, for the first time, voting in one of the awards categories will be open to the hi-fi buying public.
Members of the industry will gather to find out who the winners are on the Friday evening of the show, after having had the opportunity to vote online for several categories in the awards. Other categories will be decided by a panel of judges, including awards for companies exhibiting at the Bristol Show.
Audiophiles can also take part in the awards voting this year, by nominating a product they feel deserves to win the award for ‘Most Significant Product Launch of 2025’. Voting is open now for nominations and closes at midnight on 16th February. The winner will be the product that receives the greatest number of nominations from the public and hi-fi industry members.
