AskMen is looking for AskMen Grooming Award Submissions

Category: Gift Bags

Deadline: 12:00 AM ET - 15 January
No AI Pitches Considered
Query:
We are currently fielding product submissions for the 2026 AskMen Grooming Awards.
This year, we are cutting the number of award categories in half. We will expand if a beloved product doesn't align w/ our list but we really want to give more love to a smaller batch of winners. (A tentative list of categories is below.)
We test and log every product we receive. If you've submitted on behalf of a brand before, there is no need to resend a product unless it has undergone a formula change and/or introduced a new fragrance. A product doesn’t have to be brand new to market. I will let you know if someone on the team has already tested it, though.
To submit: Please email a list of proposed products and corresponding award categories to [email protected]. Once greenlit, I will share the best address to send approved items to.
Awards are generally announced in April. Should your product win, there will be licensing opportunities for the AskMen Grooming Award winner seal. Otherwise, consider it free publicity!
Due to the heavy volume of products received, we can't confirm receipt of packages. We also do not provide individual feedback.
The deadline to receive products is January 15. This will give our team of trusted editors and grooming experts enough time to test and review internally.
Thank you, again, and best of luck!
Products sought: Best Body Wash, Bar Soap, Lotion, Deodorant, Body Deodorant, Hand Soap, Hand Cream, Foot Cream, Sunscreen Lotion, Sunscreen Spray, Shaving Cream, Shave Butter, Shave Gel, Beard Balm, After-Shave Treatment, Razor, Trimmer, Body Groomer, Skincare Brand of the Year, Face Cleanser, Toner, Face Serum, Face Oil, Face Scrub, Face Moisturizer, Sheet Mask, eye Cream, Night Cream, Acne Treatment, Face Sunscreen, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Mouthwash, Whitening Product, Lip Balm, LED Mask, Face Tool, Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Loss Solution, Scalp Treatment, Dry Shampoo, Hairspray, Hair Paste, Hair Wax, Hair Gel

Cancer Bites Podcast is looking for Seeking heart-led brands creating clean, meaningful comfort for cancer
Name: Siobhan Shaw
Category: Gift Bags
Email: [email protected]
Muck Rack URL: https://muckrack.com/siobhan-shaw-1
Media Outlet: Cancer Bites Podcast (https://www.growingtogive.org/cancer-bites-podcast.html)
Deadline: 2:00 AM ET - 10 January
Query:
Cancer Bites is a nonprofit podcast and community dedicated to elevating the voices of cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and the medical teams who walk beside them. This February, we are curating our annual February Gift Guide, “Gifts That Whisper I Love You,” a thoughtfully edited collection of products chosen for comfort, care, and meaning.
This guide centers on love expressed quietly. It features clean, low-tox, and intentionally made items that help ease hard days, restore confidence, and bring warmth, nourishment, and dignity to people navigating cancer, recovery, or caregiving. These are not trend-driven picks. They are products that show up when energy is low, skin is sensitive, hair is changing, routines are disrupted, and comfort matters most.
We are seeking heart-led brands offering products such as nutritious low- or no-sugar foods and snacks; coffee, tea, and gentle beverages; cozy clothing, warm hats, and winter essentials; soft bedding, pillows, and blankets; hair care for sensitive scalps including wigs, extensions, accessories, brushes, and combs; organic or non-toxic hair color; clean makeup from mascara and lipstick to concealer and cover-up; non-toxic nail care alternatives; gentle movement and stretching tools; organic body care, rubs, and balms that ease pain; items that make travel, car rides, or treatment waiting easier; medicine reminders; memory-keeping tools; love-forward gifts from someone with cancer to a loved one; heart-shaped or symbolic items expressing deep connection; and hobbies that can be done without heavy lifting, strong chemicals, or high physical demand.
Alongside product features, this edition will include a storytelling element called “Whispered I Love You Moments,” where selected founders share a brief reflection on the people or experiences that shaped their brand through love.
We will select 30 standout brands. Entry is free. A product sample is required and must arrive by January 22, 2025. Final publication date is February 3, 2025.
This is a guide rooted in humanity, care, and love made tangible.

Whimsy Soul is looking for Olympic brand collaborations + shoppable athlete merch

Category: Lifestyle and Entertainment

MUCK RACK URL: https://muckrack.com/whimsysoul
MEDIA OUTLET: Yahoo
MEDIA WEBSITE: https://yahoo.com
DEADLINE DATE: 9:00 PM ET - 14 January
No AI Pitches Considered
Query:
I’m working on an upcoming Yahoo feature covering Olympic brand collaborations fans can actually shop this winter Olympics, inspired by the rise of athlete-led unboxings and Olympic Village hauls on TikTok and Instagram in recent games. Example: during the last Summer Games, content featuring athletes like Ilona Maher wearing Team USA–branded pieces from brands such as SKIMS drove significant consumer interest when those products were also made available to the public. Olympic viewing has become increasingly shoppable.
For this upcoming Olympics feature, I’m seeking information from brands that are:
- Launching Olympics-inspired or Team USA–adjacent collections
- Partnering with Olympic or Paralympic athletes
- Seeding athletes with merch that fans can purchase
- Releasing limited-edition items tied to the Games, host city, or national teams
If you or your client have relevant launches planned, please share:
- Launch timing
- Product details and price points
- Lookbooks and media-approved images
- Athlete partners or teams involved, if any
- Links to shop or expected go-live URLs
Thank you

Sunday Woman is looking for products for New Year - New Ways to be Kind to Yourself Article - Indulgent

Media Outlet: Sunday Woman (https://www.sundaywoman.com)
Deadline: 7:00 PM ET - 30 January
Query:
We're not doing the usual New Year/ New You articles, we never do. The, "get off the bus 2 stops early to lose weight' are not our style. Instead we're doing a New Year, New ways to be kind to yourself. All about putting yourself first so you have energy left to love others.
With this is mind we're looking for suggestions for any products that fall under:
Aromatherapy, Stress Relief, Products to help with life hacks (such as cleaners that reduce time/ effort etc), Bedding and blankets, Incense, Perfumes, Bath and Body products, Hair Products, Beauty Products, Self care products - razors, toothbrushes, you get the idea, Plushies for our single readers, Pillows, Anything that offers comfort, Loungewear, Great footwear, slippers, crocs, comfy shoes, wellies, Technology that helps with hobbies, Artists tools for mindfulness painting, drawing etc, Indulgent foods and baking kits, Sweets and candy
All for men as well as women.
Now we test all we feature, it's a hard life I know. See our Christmas Gift Guides and you'll see just how much effort goes into reviewing each individual product. We can't do this on a picture alone. We test most, at the moment, in our UK office, Greatwood, but do have an office in West Virginia (which is manned mainly by sporty men so not suitable to review products like these) for food items, male items.
Please do get in touch if you'd like to take part, you may win an award like many of your peers did.
