the judging process
All entries are fairly judged by a confidential panel of international industry experts. Judges review each entry based on the criteria provided for that category. Their votes are compiled to create a short list of winner candidates. The judges then deliberate the final winners. First-place and runner-up winners are selected in each category. Winners of FoodTrekking Awards are invited to collect their trophies in person at our annual FoodTrex Innovation Summit in London.
