The T3 Awards 2024 in association with Norton showcase the very best of tech, home and active products in the last 12 months. The award winners are truly exceptional and represent the very best on sale. And although we won't reveal those winners until June, we can now share with you which have been shortlisted.
This year we have a total of 83 categories, covering the widespread interests that we feature on T3, including 10 headline awards, that all help you to live smarter. The nominees in each category have each scored highly in our reviews and buying guides and are all worthy products in their own rights.
The products featured below have been nominated either by the general public, manufacturers and PRs, or by the T3 team. All of them have been thoroughly tested by the experts at T3.
The winners of the T3 Awards 2024 will be announced throughout the week of Monday 3 June and will appear in issue 361 of T3 magazine on sale Thursday 6 June.
With the shortlist now in place, the judges will start their deliberations but one category will be open for your voting – the T3 Readers' Choice Award is now open for entries until 11:59 pm on Friday 10 May 2024, and will be announced with the headline awards.
Our Design awards are in association with Wallpaper*. These prestigious awards are given to the products that have really pushed the envelope in terms of design innovation. These include Design awards for Technology, Home and Active – T3's three main pillars – as well as automotive, so the competition is fierce.
Please note that due to product release schedules and a rush of last-minute nominations, some shortlists below can still be considered as works in progress, with more nominees to follow (though none will be removed), as we test additional products.
