Food Champion Award

New for 2007, The Royal Agricultural Society of England’s Food Champion Awards recognise the contribution that individuals/companies make to independent British food retailing, rather than judging specific products.

Eligibility
The award is open to any food exhibitor at the Royal Show, who is independent. This will cover the Food Hall, the Food Courtyard and the Food Pavilions.

Judging
Judging will take place during the first day of the Royal Show by a panel of three judges. The judges’ decision is final.

Assessment criteria

• Innovation in production and marketing including sustainability
• Connecting with the consumer: engaging customers, education, enthusiasm
• Contribution to British food and farming
• Product taste

Award
The winner will be presented with a RASE medal and a certificate at the Royal Show Awards Dinner.
Up to 10 commendations (subject to judges’ decision) will receive a certificate and Royal Show rosettes.
