CATEGORIES
Please select the one category that best describes the product. Each product may be entered in one category only.
However, the organisers reserve the right, at their discretion, to also consider an entry in another relevant category for judging purposes.
What constitutes one entry?
Each entry must relate to one individual product variant and formulation. Different flavours, recipes or formulations must be entered separately, even where they form part of the same range. For example, Raspberry Jam, Blackcurrant Jam and Strawberry Jam are three separate entries. Where the identical product variant and formulation is available in different pack sizes, only one entry is required, provided the recipe, ingredients and product specification are unchanged.
