Due to demand and to enable as many entrants as possible to participate in this year’s FMT Food Industry Awards, the final deadline for product entry nominations has been moved back to Wednesday 4th February.
Manufacturers, processors, foodservice and retailers from across the UK meat and food sector can nominate their products now, ahead of the fast-approaching deadline. All nominations are free of charge and there is no limit to the number of products that can be entered.
Nominate your products here.
Simply go to the website for more information or to nominate your products in a specific category.
Of particular interest to those entering meat-based products are the following categories:
- Best Poultry Product
- Best Red Meat Product
- Best Free From Product
- Best Frozen Product
- Best New Product Development
- Best Bakery Product
- Best Ready to Eat Product
Once the nomination process is concluded, product delivery is then scheduled for Tuesday 10th February 2026, when the actual product judging will start at the test kitchens located in Milton Keynes. All those participating will be sent full details in advance to facilitate product delivery.
Full details of product categories can be found here.
Once winners and finalists are decided by the judging panel these will be revealed at the prestigious 2026 awards ceremony and lunch, which will be expanded this year and hosted at the 5-star Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 12th June.
