Delivery of products and further instructions:

You must attach a label with the correct product code to each of your products, this will ensure that the correct product is judged against the entry form. This unique product entry code is listed on your confirmation email.

When delivering your products please ensure that that they are sent in a suitable container (ie cool packs/ sealed bags / chilled boxes) to keep the product in good condition taking into account likely time in transit. Please also include product packaging where possible.

We will have a team of food economists onsite to cook your products, there is no need to cook these in advance. You should enclose cooking instructions in order to best showcase your product which the food economists will use.

The entry (entries) should be of sufficient size to be judged against the judging criteria, see judging criteria above.

If your product requires cooking/heating of any kind please ensure that 3 samples of EACH product entered are sent. Please send 3 packs of sausages rather than 3 individual sausages. We require raw sausage products (not pre-cooked) unless it is a ready to eat product.
