Get insider tips for submitting an excellent entry from our founder, Emily Fletcher.
The Clean + Conscious Awards celebrate the very best in clean, ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible products—brands just like yours. We want to see you shine in this year’s Awards, and we’re here to help you put your best foot forward.
Founded by Emily Fletcher, a scientist , mother and conscious living advocate, the Awards are designed to recognise and elevate brands that are making a real impact. With thousands of products assessed over the years, Emily knows what makes an entry stand out. In this guide, she shares her top tips to ensure your submission is as compelling and successful as possible. Let’s make this your year!
1. Send your product promptly
Promptly send us your product sample(s) after your initial registration. Early product submission(s) ensure a thorough evaluation and a deeper understanding of your product.
2. Send a full-size product for review
Where possible, submit a full-size product rather than a sample. This allows our judges to assess not just the product itself but also its packaging, sustainability, and overall user experience.
3. Choose conscious postal packaging
We ask that the postal packaging be consciously chosen, using biodegradable, recyclable, or reused materials wherever possible to minimise environmental impact.
4. Highlight your key strengths
When answering the social responsibility section of your entry, focus on your key strengths. We understand each company’s approach varies (depending on your size and capabilities) and we consider this carefully in our judging.
5. The info you enter will be shared with our judges
Take care and be concise when answering the questions on your entry form. (Bullet points are ideal.) The information you submit (unless labelled confidential) will be shared with our expert panel. If you are selected as a finalist, an edited version of this info will also feature on your product page within our directory.
We ask that the postal packaging be consciously chosen and for biodegradable, recyclable or reused packaging to be used.
6. Upload your best product photo
Upload a clear, well-chosen square image of your product. This will be displayed on our website, social media, and if you receive a placing, with your finalist or winner’s rosette. We recommend lifestyle shots or images with simple backgrounds—please avoid plain white backgrounds, graphics, or text overlays.
