UK Fruit & Vegetable Awards Logo

The 2018 UK Fruit & Vegetable Awards are now open for entries, offering companies and individuals the chance to gain the recognition of their peers.

Unlike other events, the UK Fruit & Vegetable Awards are voted for entirely by FPJ subscribers in a transparent process that means the winners can truly call themselves champions of the fresh produce industry.

The awards are free to enter, and with the simplest of entry requirements – you just need to give us 250 words outlining your achievements – there’s no excuse not to take part.

There is a wide range of categories recognising achievements in growing, sustainability, packaging, marketing, charitable work and more, as well as individual awards for unsung heroes and young people.

Entries are submitted online viafpjlive.com, and the deadline for entries for this year’s competition is 29 June. Subscribers will then be able to view the entries and vote for their favourites over the summer.

In addition to the pride that comes with being voted by fellow fresh produce professionals, winners will receive a smart trophy and coverage of their achievements in the Fresh Produce Journal.

The winners will be crowned at a fun and relaxed evening, the Awards Social, on Monday 8 October at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Entry to the Awards Social is included within tickets for FPJ Live, which takes place the following day and promises an all-new and innovative twist on the traditional conference format.

So what are you waiting for? Head over tofpjlive.comand let us know why you’re deserving of being one of this year’s champions.
