PC Advisor is compiling its first ever annual awards - and we can't do so without your help.

We want to know what you think of the products you've bought - with or without our advice - how reliable and useful they've been and whether you've had to talk to their makers to get help with setting up, using or fixing them.

We can't cover everything but we value your input about the products and brands you would and wouldn't recommend and why.

By way of an incentive, we've assembled some excellent gadgets and software that every Reader Awards respondent will be in with a chance of winning.

More than £7,500 worth of prizes are up for grabs. Note, however, that we can only consider entries and product feedback from the UK.

To be entered in the draw for any of a selection of tech-related prizes, please enter a valid email address.

We won't use your email address to contact you for other purposes, but we do need to be able to validate winners' details and to request their address to send out prizes later in the year.

The prize draw will take place after the survey closes at the end of November. Winners will be notified by email. Winners' names will also appear in the issue of PC Advisor that carry the results of the PC Advisor Awards winners.
