The Great British Food Awards were launched in 2014 to celebrate the country’s finest home-grown ingredients, as well as the hard-working folk who produce and cook with them. This year, the awards are bigger and better than ever, with lots of new categories and amazing celebrity judges.

Step 1: Companies enter their products here and then send two samples of each product entered to the following address as soon as possible:
Jenny O’Neill
Great British Food Awards 2022
Aceville
21/23 Phoenix Court
Hawkins Road
Colchester
Essex
CO2 8JY

Step 2: Our in-house team of experts will test out every product, giving each a final mark out of 15. We will also fill out detailed feedback forms for companies who want them.

Step 3: Our team will shortlist the best scoring 10-15 products in each category. Shortlisted companies will then be required to send samples to our celebrity judges around the UK in early August. Our judges will pick one winner and two highly commended products in each category.

Step 4: Winners will then need to send samples into our studio for photography in mid-September, and to the chosen judge of our final British Grand Champion category.

£70 (+ VAT) per product, plus an additional £20 (+VAT) if you wish to be entered into the regional awards. Feedback from our in-house judges is £80 + VAT.

24th July 2023

The winners and runners up will be announced to the public on October 27th 2023, though winners and runners up will be informed beforehand in order to arrange photography samples to be sent out.

When entering your product you will have the option to receive feedback from the Great British Food team for an extra fee. Forms will include a score out of 15 plus detailed and constructive comments from our judges if you are one of the winners or Highly Commended companies. Previous entrants have found the comments very useful for marketing purposes. Even if you don't win, getting feedback provides invaluable knowledge that may help you grow, improve and develop your offering, or reassess certain aspects of your product's taste or packaging.

Firstly the Great British Food team will painstakingly test every product entered to compile a shortlist of the best in each category. Next, we have enlisted a fantastic group of celebrity judges to pick our winners; each and every one is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their chosen category.
