2010 National Organic Awards

News | 17 Aug 2010

The closing date for the 2010 National Organic Awards is August 23rd 2010. We are reminding everyone to submit their entries by this date to be in with a chance to win!

Now in their 4th year, the National Organic Awards are recognised as an important feature of the organic food and drink Industry. Established by the National Organic Plan under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food and Bord Bia, judging for the National Organic Awards will take place in early September. All entries will be judged by a panel of experts.

Award winners will be announced and presented at a lunch on Tuesday the 14th of September in the Bord Bia Food Centre.  Winners will be invited and expected to attend.

The objective of the awards is to recognise the achievements and raise the profile of Irish organic food and drink manufacturers and growers. 

This year the awards have been reviewed and will be more inclusive of organic producers from every sector, including horticulture growers. The announcement of the awards will coincide with National Organic Week and we hope to use the synergies to increase the profile of the winners and the Irish organic food sector.

This year, the award categories are;

*  Best Organic Retail Product
*  Best Organic Local product
*  Best Organic Export Product
*  Best Organic New Product
*  Best Sustainable Organic Product

Each of the above five winners will then be put forward for judging for the Best Overall Organic Product.

Application Forms are available http://www.bordBia.ie/NationalOrganicAwardsForm and must be submitted by Monday 23 August 2010.
