The NZ Artisan Awards has given New Zealand food and beverage producers an opportunity to showcase product innovation. The 2020 New Zealand Artisan Awards saw fierce competition with over 600 entries. It made a tough job for the judges which consisted of an expert panel of food writers, chefs, and packaging design professionals.
“For the 2021 competition we are looking for producers of premium quality products who are looking to break into foodservice or FMCG,” said head judge, Tania Walters.
Those who would like to be a winner in the 2021 New Zealand Artisan Awards will triumph over their competition with a product that is innovative, fit for purpose, has great visual appeal and taste, an excellent price point, and stand out packaging.
