Submissions will be accepted until July 9, so act fast for a chance to be considered.

CStore Decisions is accepting submissions for the annual Hot New Products Contest — but not for much longer. Supplier companies with a new product launching between September 2024 and September 2025 are encouraged to submit before the July 9 deadline.

The contest is completely free to enter and is available to consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands, foodservice brands, equipment companies or technology companies that operate within the c-store industry.

A panel of expert judges will review all submissions and rate them based on a range of criteria, such as innovation, packaging, likeliness to carry in stores and much more.

Companies looking to enter more than one product can submit up to three. Space is limited, so enter today to make sure your product is included.

Winners will be announced leading into the NACS show, and CStore Decisions’ November post show issue will recap this year’s contest winners. Additionally, any company that submits a product is guaranteed one exposure in CStore Decisions’ Hot New Products e-newsletter in 2025.
