OPE+ Twenty for 2026 call for nominations
OPE+ will once again recognize the top products for landscape and irrigation industry professionals with the OPE+ Twenty for 2026 New Product Awards. As such, we are reaching out to all manufacturers for nominations.
From outdoor power equipment to irrigation components to fertilizer, hardscape supplies, software and more, if your company introduced (or will be introducing) a product, solution or innovation to the professional landscape market between June 2, 2025 and June 1, 2026, please submit the following materials/information to John Kmitta, associate publisher at jkmitta@epgacceleration.com by no later than May 8, 2026.
- Product name
- Product release date (must be between June 2, 2025 and June 1, 2026)
- 150 words or less about the product/solution
- A brief description of why the product should be considered one of the 20 most innovative products of the past year
- High-resolution digital photography of the product/solution (JPG format preferred)
- Any original press releases or spec sheets related to the product.
- Links to videos of the product (if available)
Submissions will be reviewed by our team, and the full list of Twenty for 2026 New Product Award winners will appear in the July/August edition of OPE+ magazine.
Note: Products that are being introduced to the market between now and June 1, 2026 are eligible for submission as long as materials (photos and product details) are ready and available for review by the editorial deadline of May 8, 2026.
Companies may submit more than one new product for consideration, as long as each product was introduced between June 2, 2025 and June 1, 2026. However, we typically recommend that you focus on your most innovative product(s) for consideration (rather than just submitting content regarding all new product introductions from the past year).
