The deadline for entries to the Asia Food Innovation Awards, to be held this July in Singapore, has been extended to 13 June. The inaugural edition of this awards scheme, which builds on the reputation of the World Food Innovation Awards, will give brands a platform for their success in Asia. It is organised by FoodBev Media in conjunction with event organisers Montgomery, and will be presented at RPB Asia and Speciality & Fine Food Asia on 18 July.
Previously the deadline had been 7 June, but the extra week will give all interested parties the chance to finish their submissions.
The full list of judges – which includes the managing director of Montgomery Asia, experts from the world of food accelerators, and an experienced brand design specialist – was announced at the end of May.
The inaugural Asia Food Innovation Awards are designed to recognise and reward excellence across all aspects of the global food and beverage industry – from manufacturing to ingredients, packaging to finished products.
They will offer a unique opportunity to showcase your latest innovations at these co-located events in Singapore – ideal for brands looking to increase their exposure in Asia, looking to launch in Asia for the first time, or simply seeking to promote their products in front of an international audience.
In addition to the prestige of winning an Asia Food Innovation Award, winners and finalists will be receiving a comprehensive PR and media package to celebrate and highlight their success. This will include dedicated coverage on FoodBev.com and FoodBev’s social media channels, as well as a comprehensive communications kit and interview opportunities for winning entrants.
As a company, FoodBev Media has been organising industry-leading awards schemes for more than a decade. Our most established schemes, the World Dairy Innovation Awards and World Beverage Innovation Awards, are held every year at major events such as the Global Dairy Congress and BrauBeviale or Drinktec, regularly receiving more than 200 entries.
FoodBev Media group editor Alex Clere said: “We are very exicted to launch the Asia Food Innovation Awards and celebrate the food industry’s innovation achievements in Singapore for the first time. This is an excellent opportunity for brands to showcase their latest developments in front of our panel of judges and an audience of trade professionals at the presentation ceremony itself.
“The Asia Food Innovation Awards will extend our partnership with Fresh Montgomery – with whom we organise the World Food Innovation Awards – and brings together their established and highly regarded events with FoodBev’s track record in rewarding innovation.
“The benefits of entering are obvious, and we look forward to celebrating your innovation achievements this July.”
