The Good Guys, Harvey Norman and JB HiFi up for Best Retailer

CHOICE is delighted to announce the short list of nominees for the inaugural CHOICE Awards which are being held in Sydney on March 15 2010.

The awards, which highlight the very best in goods and services, are for six categories: Best Retailer, Best Baby Brand, Best Technology Innovator, Best Food Endorsement Program and Best Low-Fee Bank Account.

To mark CHOICE’s 50th birthday, the CHOICE Heritage Award will also be awarded to the brand that has consistently topped its product tests over the past five decades.

The nominations have been determined by CHOICE with the judging carried out by a panel of its experts against stringent criteria (see accompanying Fact Sheet).
