2023 SELF Sneaker Awards: The right way to Submit
Apr
Lace up: The 2023 SELF Sneaker Awards are coming soon! We are able to’t wait to share one of the best kicks of the 12 months with our readers later this summer. SELF editors are repeatedly testing the most recent pairs of sneakers in the marketplace, but we wish to be sure that we aren’t missing a thing for our awards. So, brands, that’s where the submissions are available. You already know the drill: Keep reading for all the pieces you want to undergo the 2023 SELF Sneaker Awards. See you on the courts!
Eligibility guidelines
- To be eligible, a method should have launched (or plan to launch) between August 1, 2022, and August 1, 2023. Preexisting styles which have been released in recent colorways or improved in any significant way inside the eligible time period are fair game.
- We kindly ask that every brand submit not more than five styles total. Please prioritize one of the best of one of the best—your top releases or the shoes you anticipate will likely be the most important crowd-pleasers.
The right way to submit
- To submit a sneaker, fill out this type. You’ll fill out one form for every style—so in case you’re submitting three different pairs, you’ll fill out three separate forms.
- Please don’t ship any shoes for testing at the moment. If we’d wish to test a pair, we’ll reach out after reviewing your submission, which can take a number of weeks. Please note that products we call in for testing can’t be returned. If submitting products could also be a hardship in your brand, send us an email—we’d be joyful to work with you to work out an answer.
Submissions are due on Monday, May 8 at 12 p.m. ET. You possibly can email Hannah Pasternak, associate director of special projects, with any questions: [email protected]. Can’t wait to see what you submit!
