Each year, the consumer healthcare industry pauses to ask which of its campaigns truly served people — not merely selling products, but deepening the public's relationship with self-directed health. The Health In Hand Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, has opened that inquiry for 2026, inviting nominations across six marketing categories for OTC medicines, dietary supplements, and medical devices. Submissions close July 17, and the industry will gather November 11 in Philadelphia to hear the answer.

CHPA launches 2026 Self-Care Marketing Awards, signaling continued industry investment in OTC, supplements, and medical device marketing innovation.
Consumers may benefit from more targeted, innovative, and inclusive OTC health marketing campaigns, potentially improving awareness of self-care options and driving competitive pricing among brands vying for recognition.
