What do you need to know about entering?

You have to enter online, so check out the form online and then write your copy. You only have 150 characters to share information all about your product, please ensure that you include:

  • Product description (check website)
  • What makes it special
  • Ingredients – what is stated needs to be tasted
  • Allergens

When sending your entry, ensure you follow despatch instructions in the finished product.

Entries are limited to 12,500 and so you would be well advised not to sit back and leave it too long or it might be too late.

Be sure to read through your entry before you submit and ensure it has all the information needed. The judges will only see the copy you submit, not the product packaging, so it is vital they know as much as possible to understand the product so they can judge it. In fact to get more of an insight, why not read our blog from a judges perspective.

We wish you the best of luck on your entry, however, if you still require more advice and assistance with your Food Award entries contact us now.
