How to prepare for judging?

March 13, 2024 by Irish Food Awards

There are a few key details to check:

  1. Check your delivery date and location. We have different dates & locations planned by category, these are crucial. You can check delivery dates & locations here.
  2. Keep deliveries simple and we are asking producers to be especially mindful of deliveries and to use courier or postal delivery where possible & practical. In the case of large single deliveries from one producer, we will work with you to confirm an agreed delivery date and time.
  3. Please note products should be delivered as they are presented in their packaging to the customer. 
    Our team will unpack and prepare for blind tasting.
    Please be sure to include your entry number on each sample as well as on the outer box
    Please complete your delivery form, a copy of which you can download here
  4. 3 samples of each product entered are required  
    (In the case where your product is over 1 kilo in weight, please deliver 2 samples only)
    Remember, include your entry number on each sample please
  5. Best Before date must be included with all deliveries and all entries should be delivered with maximum possible shelflife.
  6. All chilled products should arrive at the correct temperature for storage and will be checked on delivery. You can find some helpful info on chilled delivery options here
  7. Any products which do not adhere to the delivery terms or which are not delivered on time will be disqualified from the competition.
