Make the most of our World Confectionery Awards and nominate your enterprise today
Jeavons Toffee in the UK gained a highly commended certificate at our 2023 event.
The deadline for our World Confectionery Awards at our World Confectionery Conference is fast drawing for us on 8 August, and we sincerely welcome your entries across the board and celebrate industry achievements.
Thanks indeed to those who have so far got in touch with their entries, though we’re throwing the net far and wide around the world to offer as strong a representation of the sector as possible in order to make the most of our 90th anniversary celebrations as a publication.
If you’ve yet to register to be part of the day on 12 September, which also includes an additional chocolate tasting experience on 13 September, then you can do so through our dedicated website at confectioneryconference.com so please do so as soon as possible this summer in order to aid our event planning. There’s nothing quite like getting together with like-minded industry members from across equipment, systems, ingredients and wider industry circles, so your presence is very much valued.
From small, independent firms, through to major corporations, we have been proud to serve the industry over the years, so it’s only fitting that we offer something in return through offering well-deserved honours for the industry.
The remainder of our categories include awards for best Sustainability initiative, equipment innovation, ingredients breakthrough, best finished product, and team of the year- marking a specific project success within any area of the sector’s rich and vibrant work.
Our full event listing has now been unveiled for our agenda, so visit our event site to get the lowdown on our broad range of experienced and inspirational speakers from cross the industry (see link above).
So, please don’t be shy in putting forward your free entries – there is no cost involved to enter, and certainly no catches. These are genuine accolades that will be scrutinised by our editorial board – and judging by the previous high calibre of entries, we are anticipating that will very much be the case this time around.
While we fully appreciate it takes a little time to put together an entry, but all we require is a short description of around 200 words on why your entry is a deserving one, and that’s it, done and dusted. The only exception to this is for our finished product category, where we will require a sample to be sent to our head office in Kent (see details at our dedicated website here: confectioneryconference.com/awards
More than anything, the awards create a much-needed feel-good factor that round-off our World Confectionery Conference live event. So we sincerely hope you find them of value, and welcome those entries – the sooner the better. The final deadline for these will be the third week in August, but we would greatly welcome those entries by the end of July to ensure a smooth judging process and to ensure we have time to process all submissions.
