With excellent links with the media and key garden retail buyers, GIMA offers members the opportunity to maximise exposure of their products and brands to the key influencers within the sector.

By entering a product into the GIMA awards your product will be seen by our panel of judges, which is made up of high profile industry buyers.
If you are lucky enough to win an award, your product and brand will receive recognition at the awards event, but will also be included in any subsequent editorial coverage generated after the event.
