2010 Nomination Kit and Entry Form
The Food Challenge Awards were established by Food Magazine in 2004 to recognise and reward best practice and innovation in food and beverage processing in Australia and New Zealand. Following a record-breaking number of entries in 2009, the Food Challenge Awards programme culminated in a hugely successful awards night where the big players and SMEs rubbed shoulders equally, eagerly awaiting the announcements and their time in the limelight. The 6th annual Food Challenge Awards will be held on Thursday 22 July 2010 at Doltone House overlooking Sydney Harbour so mark it in your diary. We now invite you to enter your product for 2010 to see if you’re up for the challenge!
