Tell us about the best products; and best community service
HBSDealer’s iconic Golden Hammer Awards event, bolstered by a community-focused and service-oriented twist, will return to Las Vegas in 2024.
The Golden Hammer Products and Purpose Awards will continue the tradition of recognizing best new products of the year, and for the second time in as many years will shine a golden spotlight on hardware and building supply dealers that give back to their communities and to society.
[See highlights from the 2023 event here.]
In addition to seeking nominations for best products introduced in 2023, HBSDealer is soliciting stories from hardware stores, home centers and prodealers of charitable giving, community-involvement and support for others in their time of need.

Timed to coincide in Las Vegas with the International Builders’ Show and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show—The Golden Hammer Products and Purpose Awards welcomes retailers, suppliers, distributors and anyone with a stake in the home improvement industry and the communities it serves.

In the “Purpose” category, large and small dealers are encouraged to share their stories of giving back or making a difference in the community. Whether it’s an effort to aid a single child or family in a time of need, or a multi-million-dollar fundraising effort, HBSDealer welcomes stories from the front lines of purpose-driven retailing.
HBSDealer editors will select and celebrate the best-of-the-best of these efforts during the live event. All Golden Hammer honorees will also be highlighted in the February issue of HBSDealer.
“The industry recognizes the Golden Hammer as an emblem of innovative products,” said HBSDealer’s Editor in Chief Ken Clark. “And for the second year in a row, we want to bring together the best of the best along with the golden hearts of the industry.”
