If you've dropped by T3.com at all this week you've probably noticed that we've been busy announcing the winners of the T3 Awards 2019, sponsored by Fasthosts, ExpressVPN and AEG.
This year, the T3 Awards are bigger than ever – the categories are more numerous and the range of products covered is wider.
There are 68 T3 Awards categories this year, from mobiles to mowers and from TVs to tents. This reflects the fact that T3 now truly strives to bring you the best of everything, not just gadgets and gizmos – although that remains at the core of what we do. What remains the same is that the awards are still all about helping you to discover the best products to buy – there are just a few more of them to choose from now.
The shortlists were compiled by T3 editors as well as a public nominations process which brought in hundreds of entries, and the judging was then carried out by T3 editors. For the headline awards, we assembled a judging panel consisting of Paul Douglas, Global Editor-in-Chief, T3; Matt Bolton, Editor, T3 Magazine; Duncan Bell, Lifestyle Editor, T3; Dan Jones, Technology Editor, The Sun, Rhiannon Williams, Tech Editor, i.com, Hannah Bouckley, Editor, BT.com, Spencer Kelly, host of Click, BBC, Catherine Ellis, Techradar.
And the winners are...
