App of the Year

A new T3 Awards category for 2010, the App of the Year contenders will run across mobile platforms and be judged on their usefulness for smartphone users.
Start Voting

By definition, our favourite commuter gadget will be one that makes the daily journey to work more enjoyable. Is that by way of music, video, getting from A to B as painlessly as possible or just making mornings/evenings more pleasant?
Start Voting

Phone of the Year

The T3 Phone of the Year will be judged on usability, innovation, new features and product design. Smartphones are, once again, a huge product area with HTC, Motorola, Apple, Nokia et al launching more great handsets.
Start Voting

Camera of the Year

Digital cameras remain one of the most lucrative areas of consumer technology. Whether the camera is compact, bridge or DSLR, it will have to impress us with its picture quality, features, innovative tech and value for money.

Camcorder of the Year

The camcorder category has been re-energised and the best compact, pistol grip and full-size camcorders from the last 12 months will be judged on HD video quality, features, design and VFM.

Computer of the Year

From tiny netbooks to full-size HD-ready laptops, we've taken the hottest picks from the past twelve months for this category. These are the best of the best - but which one gets your vote?
Start Voting

Music Gadget of the Year

Last year, Sony trumped Apple with its superb X-Series Walkman. What will the contenders have to do this year to win? As well as quality audio output and build, T3 will be judging the overall music experience. Has the iPod Touch done enough over the last 12 months as a pure music product to challenge for its former throne?
Start Voting

Gaming Gadget of the Year

Here, we’re looking for exciting and innovative breakthroughs in the gaming sector. The winner could be a gadget that enhances an existing gaming product or a new device altogether. Sony Move and Project Natal launch later this year, but which products are impressing us now?
Start Voting

Retailer of the Year

Whether online, on the high street or both, this will be the retailer that’s impressed us most in terms of the shopping experience, customer service, immediacy and breadth of products and quality of after-sales care. It must have been consistent throughout 2010.
Start Voting

New Media Service of the Year

The victor in this category will be the media service that best enhances the consumption and distribution of media content online for consumers. We’ll be looking at who is improving content and who has made the most significant developments since the last Awards. It could be a social networking site or one of the on-demand video services...

T3 Design Award

This new category replaces the Drop Dead Gorgeous award from 2009 and celebrates not only the aesthetic appeal but also the utility of gadgets produced in the last year. T will use the judging process to determine which products have most improved form and function within their respective product categories.
Start Voting

TV of the Year

The cream of the TV crop that T3 has reviewed since the last shortlist was announced. The challengers can be any screen size but the winner will be chosen based on picture quality, features, innovation and value for money. 3D has been a main theme in 2010; will this year see the first 3D TV to scoop a T3 Award?
Start Voting

Tech Brand of the Year

2009 was Google's, capped by winning this category at last year's Awards. It launched its own phone and a raft of exciting new services. The winner of this year’s award will be the company that’s made the most impressive contribution to the tech industry since then, using its products and services to improve or generate brand awareness.
Start Voting

Gadget of the Year

This is the product that has risen above any in the last year. The winner will have added impact, value and innovation to the consumer tech market. Possessing the T3 Gadget of the Year 2010 award defines its owner as a cutting-edge ambassador of tech. Last year's plaudits went to the HTC Hero. Can the Taiwanese dark horse make it two on the trot?
Start Voting

Green Gadget of the Year

The winner of the Green Gadget of the Year will exhibit clear green credentials, such as regenerative power methods, features that increase consumers’ awareness of their energy usage or gadgets designed to reduce waste. All manufacturers are striving to build “eco” products but only a few really achieve it.
Start Voting

Work Gadget of the Year

The T3 Work Gadget of the Year needs to make life easier or aid productivity in a work environment. That could be the latest BlackBerry “office-from-office” or a brand new gadget that has smoothed out your daily slog.
Start Voting

Home Gadget of the Year

Home Gadget of the Year must employ technology to help, not hinder modern home life. These gadgets, which reflect those found within the T3 Home section, will be judged on how they simplify household tasks, saving you hassle and time.
