which are made by public vote.

How to enter

Every
boat tested and published in Motor Boat & Yachting and Motor Boats Monthly
prior to December 20, 2013 will automatically be considered for entry by our
panel of experienced motor boat journalists.

This is because we believe that the awards should be judged solely on merit and for the same reason we only ever give awards to boats we have driven and tested out on the water where they belong.
