HOW TO GET STARTED

STEP ONE
Complete the online form and process your payment (£70 per product plus VAT). You can enter as many products as you like into multiple categories, and for an additional £20 enter your product into your own regional category.

Send two samples of each product entered to the following address as soon as possible: Jenny O’Neill, Great British Food Awards 2020, 1 Phoenix Court, Hawkins Road, Colchester, Essex, CO2 8JY.

STEP TWO
Our in-house team of experts will rigorously test every product, giving each a final mark of 15. Marks out of 10 are given for taste, and marks out of 5 are given for provenance - based on the information given in your entry form. We will also fill out detailed feedback forms for an additional £50+VAT.

STEP THREE
Our team will shortlist the highest-scoring 10-15 products in each category. Shortlisted companies and producers will then be required to send samples to our celebrity judges during late July/early August 2020. Our judges will pick one winner and two finalists in each category.

STEP FOUR
Winners will need to send samples to our studio for promotional photography by 2 October 2020. Category winners who wish to participate in our final Product of the Year, judged by Booths, will also need to provide an additional sample.
