Why you should enter

• The FFFA entrant, shortlisted or winners’ logos are instantly recognisable and are trusted by freefrom consumers across the UK and beyond. What better way to promote your product?
• And…. the FFFA logos are totally free of charge if you enter, are shortlisted or win
• Expert judging & invaluable feedback – every product is judged by a panel of freefrom experts and their feedback (costing thousands if you had to pay for it) is freely available to all entrants. Especially if you are developing new products, this is reason enough to enter on its own.
• Entrants will feature on all our social platforms with a combined following of over 16,000.

Categories

All of the main categories still feature – breakfast, grocery, breads, pastas, main meals, snacks, desserts and confectionery, gluten free beers and low/no alc drinks.

Plus other well established categories such as Almost Totally FreeFrom, Innovation, Food Service, Child and Teen Friendly Foods, Gifting, Digital presence and Start Up of the Year.

And, new for 2023 –

• • Keto
  • Meal kits and on line meal plans
  • An International Recognition category – designed to recognise quality & innovation in free from food and drink outside of the UK market, potentially helping brands build awareness in the UK

Costs

Bearing in mind that our entrants are all struggling with the horrendous escalation in energy and production costs this year, we are freezing our entry prices for one more year – and we have now scaled them more accurately to the size of the entrant’s turnover.  See this page for some guidance.

And of course we are offering our usual 10% discount for all entries received before January 17th.

Sponsorship

The awards offer excellent sponsorship opportunities to companies large and small – and we are delighted to say that many of our sponsors are now old friends. Indeed, some have been with us from the very first days of the awards 15 years ago.

Sponorship enables sponsors to become familiar (and raise their profile) with hundreds of freefrom-ers – entrants, consumers, bloggers, press and judges  – while demonstrating their commitment to one of the largest growing sectors of the UK food & drink market.

For sponsorship opportunites go here or email Cressida direct.

So, do it!!

When times are tough you need to be brave. To believe in your products and to go out there and promote them.

What better a way to do that than to give them a chance of winning one of those massively valued bright yellow FreeFrom Food Awards winning logos!
