Events, organisers of the BBC Good Food Shows, are pleased to announce that
applications are now open for this year’s Producers
Bursary Award Scheme. The BBC Good Food Shows, in conjunction with BBC Good
Food Magazine will be scouring the country for the next month looking for the most
exceptional artisan food and drink producers in Britain and we need your help. The
scheme has now been running for six years and aims to pick out the very best
new producers the nation has to offer. The most commendable of these small
independent producers will be rewarded with a free opportunity to exhibit at the shows.
To nominate on Twitter or Instagram, just write the
name and/or social media tag of the producer and then tag us @BBCGOODFOODSHOW with the
following #GFSBursaryNominations. Producers
will then be notified of their nomination and asked to fill in an application
form.
Nominations that will be considered are producers that
have been running for less than three years and have a turnover lower than
£250,000. The lucky company with the most nominations via Twitter and Instagram
will be automatically shortlisted and will be in with the chance to win a
free stand package at one of the shows in Glasgow, London, Birmingham or
Harrogate.
BBC Good Food Magazine editor Gillian Carter comments:
“The scheme is an excellent way of rewarding the very best independent food
and drink producers by giving them a platform in which to put their business in
front of tens of thousands of consumers. This is such a great way to discover
passionate, young, smaller brands and I personally cannot wait to see what a
fantastic array of producers the competition has to offer!”
