Is your company a leader in its field but may not always get the credit it deserves? And are you exhibiting at the 2012 IFT Food Expo in Las Vegas, Nev., June 26–28? If you answered yes to both questions, then gain recognition for your ingenuity and achievements by entering the 2012 IFT Food Expo Innovation awards. The deadline of April 15 is fast approaching so enter today.
The product, technology, ingredient, instrumentation, equipment, or service must have been commercially introduced since Jan. 1, 2011. In addition, new applications of existing products/services that were commercially introduced since Jan. 1, 2011 also are eligible. There is no entry fee, and companies may submit more than one entry. Qualifying entries will be reviewed by an independent, expert panel of judges.
Some guidelines for submitting:
- All entry materials must be in English.
- All entries must be submitted online.
- All entry descriptions must be 500 words or less.
- Once your entry has been submitted, you cannot re-submit the form.
- You may attach up to three supporting documentation, such as brochures, by using the “Attach File” option located at the top of the online form.
Winning entries will be announced and awarded prior to the opening of the exhibit floor at the 2012 IFT Annual Meeting & Food Expo in Las Vegas. This allows winning companies to promote their achievements at their booths, increasing booth traffic and attracting prospective customers. In addition, IFT will further spread the word by publicizing these outstanding innovations in the IFT Live (the electronic show daily), on-site press materials, ift.org website, and in the September Official Post-Show issue of Food Technology magazine.
