Established for 11 years, the Veggie Awards are the definitive consumer guide for plant-based customers, celebrating the best in meat-free food, cruelty-free beauty, and ethical living, as well as the brands, organisations and personalities making a positive difference for vegetarian, vegan, green and ethical causes.
It’s the perfect opportunity to get your product tried, tested and judged by some of the best-loved celebrities and influencers in the vegetarian and ethical industry. Entries opened on 3rd January 2020 and closed on 13th March.
Products need to be entered online (closing date 13th March 2020) and then sent to our editorial offices for initial testing. The knowledgeable Veggie team will then judge each item, based on the criteria set for each category, and will create a shortlist of the top 15 products in each category.
Shortlisted products will be sent to our celebrity judges in April 2020, who will rate the products according to the criteria set for each category. They will then select their winners and highly commended products.
The winners will be then announced in an awards special magazine out 3rd September with Health & Wellbeing magazine, accompanied by extensive and ongoing social media and online promotion.
