BlogOn Toy Award Winners 2020

Surprising Winners Announced for First Live Streamed BlogOn Toy Awards

Coronavirus meant that the 4th Annual BlogOn Toy Awards had to go virtual, with live demonstrations of over 200 entries across the 16 categories. Streamed to parent influencers around the UK, the BlogOn team were live for over 2 hours and received positive feedback for the new format. With more votes than ever before this format allowed us to reach a larger audience of influencers.

Bloggers Choice Award – Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle 3D Puzzle, University Games – £29.95

2020 meant that we had to adapt and change the way we normally host the awards. Eventually we decided to live stream them. This format allowed us to spotlight each of the individual entries and gave the influencers a better insight into the value for money and quality of each product. This in turn provided some surprising winners beating many of the top toys listed elsewhere. Having a puzzle win the overall Bloggers Choice award was a real surprise and showcasing how it was built meant that the influencers were really able to grasp how brilliant the product was, something not always obvious from the box.
