The KitGuru Reader Awards are all about the products that YOU decide are the best available in 2016. We thank you for the hundreds of nominations we received early in October. The most popular options in each category have now been compiled into a final list and we encourage you to get voting!
Voting starts today and will close on 13th November, with the winners being announced on 21st November.
Votes will also count toward the European Hardware Community Awards – so as well as choosing your winners for KitGuru, you will also be influencing the results across the continent.
You can vote in just one category – or all of them – it's entirely up to you.
We really want to hear from you, so please click below and get voting – it takes less than 5 minutes!
At the end of the survey, you can choose to enter a prize draw to win an AMAZON ECHO (bought and paid for by KitGuru). You don't have to enter if you don't want to, but if you want to – then just leave your details in the final text box within the survey. Entries must be received before 13th November. All decisions made by KitGuru staff are final.
