“The Licensing Awards are now in their ninth year and like many things in life have been reassessed to ensure they properly reflect this dynamic sector – the introduction of a dedicated award for the Best Gaming or New Media Licensed Property is all part of this,” commented Ian Hyder, director of The Licensing Awards and The Licensing Source Book (which owns and organises the awards). “The quality of the entries improves every year and thanks to the boundless enthusiasm from those in the trade, we can once again look forward to a great event that really does reflect all that’s great about our industry,” Ian added.

The Licensing Awards 2014 categories cover all aspects of the UK licensing industry:
  • Product Awards – for ranges of licensed products
  • Retailer Awards – for retailers of licensed merchandise
  • Property Awards – for specific licensed properties
