Our annual accolades, the World Confectionery Awards are presented each year at the World Confectionery Conference, and are entirely free to enter. Companies have until 7th July 2026 to nominate their entries. The honours are across six categories including best finished product (for confectionery and snacks), sustainability initiative of the year, equipment innovation, ingredients innovation, team of the year, and emerging enterprise of the year.
Entries will require a simple download of our event form below, along with a supporting statement of why an entry is deserving of an accolade. This can be up to 350 words in length to outline your selected nomination, and you can download and complete the form below to submit your entry, with at least one or two relevant images greatly assisting the judging process.
If you are entering multiple times, please send separate forms for each entry.
For the finished product category, we will require a sample of nominations in the interests of judging products as accurately as possible. Please send entries to Neill Barston, editor, Confectionery Production at [email protected] or Aimee Carnell, events manager, at [email protected] or via post at Bell Publishing Ltd, 57 Bath Street, Gravesend, Kent, UK, DA11 0DF. Early entries will be much appreciated in aiding the judging process, which is conducted by our experienced Confectionery Production editorial team and our independent editorial board.
