For years, we've named and shamed retailers and manufacturers with our notorious Shonkys. Now it's time to offer bouquets to 2009's top-performing companies and products with our inaugural CHOICE Awards.
The award shortlists have been drawn from hundreds of product tests and research projects conducted by CHOICE during 2009.
