As anticipation builds for this much-awaited night of glamour and gratitude, let’s delve deeper into the categories that form the heart of this prestigious event.
Each award category at the VP Awards isn’t just a title; it’s a tribute to the tireless efforts of brands, designers, retailers and tech pioneers who continue to shape the future of eyewear. From artistic expression to advanced engineering, the categories have been thoughtfully curated to reflect the evolving aspirations of the industry.
Each nomination is scrutinised by a distinguished jury of experts from the global optical fraternity, ensuring that every trophy goes to a deserving winner who’s moved the industry forward in real, tangible ways.
Introducing a Game-Changer: Best Next-Gen Eco Eyewear Award
This year, the VP Awards proudly introduces a brand-new category that reflects one of the most pressing priorities of our time — sustainability. The Best Next-Gen Eco Eyewear Award has been created to spotlight the efforts of brands that are pushing boundaries in responsible design and production. Whether it’s through biodegradable materials, recycled acetate, innovative supply chains, or zero-waste manufacturing, this award honours the visionaries building a greener tomorrow — one frame at a time.
By recognising eco-conscious innovation, the VP Awards reinforces its commitment to championing purposeful progress in eyewear, because great style and sustainability are no longer mutually exclusive.
