How did we decide the T3 Awards 2015?There are 13 categories this year and believe us when they say they were closely fought over numerous cups of coffee and some slightly substandard croissants.
From Phone and Wearable Tech of the Year through to Home Gadget of the Year and The Entertainment Award, the winners were argued out by our panel of expert judges (listed below)alongside the all important public vote (well done if you took part!).
This year Wearable Tech leads the charge across the Awards, with Apple Watch the most nominated product. Apple's wearable scoops three nominations, including Design Innovation and Wearable of the Year, while the Fitbit Charge HR and Garmin Forerunner 920 XT receive two apiece.
Virtual Reality also has a good showing with the Samsung Gear VR up for Gadget and Gaming Product of the Year, and the awesome Oculus Rift up for Gaming Product.
Check out the nominees in these featured categories:
