announcing the launch of the
marie claire uk wellness awards
Introducing the inaugural Marie Claire UK Wellness Awards—a definitive celebration of the products, brands, and innovations transforming modern wellbeing. Building on the deep audience trust of Marie Claire Health & Fitness, these awards were created to cut through consumer confusion and industry noise by spotlighting evidence-backed efficacy and genuine innovation.
In a saturated wellness market, consumers want honesty over hype. The Marie Claire UK Wellness Awards offers brands the opportunity to enter a curated roster of categories across ingestibles and supplements, health and fitness tech, body diagnostics, sleep and recovery, fitness attire and wellness destinations. Products can have launched at any time, unless entering a New-to-Market category.
Over an intensive 12-week testing window, the Marie Claire UK team will be joined by a panel of leading medical experts, nutritionists, fitness authorities and wellness practitioners. Together, they will rigorously trial every entry to evaluate formula, performance and scientific credibility—awarding only those that deliver tangible results.
Winning brands will be showcased to our 8.6-million-strong digital audience through dedicated editorial coverage on marieclaire.co.uk, with exclusive licensing opportunities available to amplify your win across all marketing channels.
