Voting retailers have chosen the finalists in the 12th annual Retailers Choice Awards, sponsored by Christian Retailing magazine. See below for a complete listing of the finalists, selected from among the 300-plus products nominated in 41 categories.

Introduced in 2001, the Retailers Choice Awards have been increasingly acknowledged as an important way of recognizing some of the most significant new life-changing products in the Christian retail industry.

Products nominated in the competition were judged on the impact they have had on staff and customers, including their ability to speak to hearts and evoke emotion, open minds to new ways of thinking and encourage and affirm Christlike living. Winners will be announced this summer.
