The early bird opportunity for nominations for the prizes, sponsored by Christian Retailing magazine, closes tomorrow, Feb. 6. Companies submitting entries before the end of the week receive a free one for every five paid. The final closing deadline for entries is March 6.

Since it was introduced in 2001, the Retailers Choice Awards program has been increasingly acknowledged in the industry as an important way of recognizing some of the most significant new life-changing materials.

Several new categories have been announced for this year's program. New prizes will be awarded for the Best Church Supply and Christian Education products. In addition, there will be new awards for the Best Backlist Product, the Best Marketing/Promotion Campaign and the Top New Supplier.

The 2009 entry fee for publishers, music labels, gift companies and others remains just $50 per item, with a free sixth entry for nominations received by tomorrow.

The winners of the 2009 Retailers Choice Awards will be announced at the International Christian Retail Show in Denver in July.
