Mobile World Congress is returning to Barcelona, Spain, next month, and TechRadar will be there, covering the most exciting gadgets and innovations from some of the biggest names in phones, tablets, computers and AI.

We’re also teaming up with our sister sites Tom’s Guide, Android Central and T3 for the ultimate ‘Best in Show’ awards at this year’s MWC, where our expert judges team up to pick the very best tech on show at the event. Kind of like a nerdy Avengers.

If you’re going to be at MWC 2026 with your product or service, then you can be involved in our Best in Show awards!

Entries are now open, and cost $250 per entry per publication. Each submission will be fairly and thoroughly reviewed by our team of judges (who might request an on-site demo of your product at MWC 2026). The deadline for entries is February 25, 2026.

Winners will be announced on all of our sites, including right here on TechRadar, and they’ll also be presented with an award at the show itself. Make sure you check out our winners from last year's MWC as well.

So, if you have a product at MWC that you think will blow minds and impress our judges, then make sure you enter before February 25 for a chance to win.

You can find all the information you need about how to enter — as well as the usual T&Cs — at our dedicated Best in Show MWC 2026 Awards site.
