Announcing the EFTM Best Awards for 2020

Every year the team at EFTM get to test, review, use, play with and experience a lot of things. And each year we like to think about which ones had the greatest impact on us, left the lasting impression.

This year, as before, we’re announcing the EFTM Best Awards.

Over the next five days, we’ll announce 34 individual awards.

Broadly there are 28 category awards, across Tech, Cars and Lifestyle.

Then there are a couple of special awards like the “Blokes Best” and “Best Person” – They are awards that sit above the categories, in Blokes best it’s something that could easily have won a category award, but we reckon it’s just a bit better. Person is like TIME Person of the year – but, just a touch lower down the pecking order of honours:)

Then there are our main awards for Best Car, Best Tech and Best Lifestyle. They again are products that could easily have won a category, but go way beyond that.

And finally, our Best of the Best – this is our Gold Logie. It’s gone to amazing cars, and amazing tech in the past.

Let me be utterly clear, these are our awards, they are decided by us based on the things we tested, the cars we drove, the experiences we had. If there’s a car we didn’t drive this year, it’s not part of our consideration. Same with a phone, or a TV or whatever it might be.

Daniel, Adam and myself put together ideas for winners in categories relating to things we’d tested, and we voted – or discussed, and my Dictatorship made the final decision.

We put as much emphasis on value in many of these categories, along with innovation and smarts, as we do sheer outright performance.

So, with that, we ask you to strap in, and enjoy the next five days of announcements.

The categories are below – we’ll add links to each winner as they are announced.
