SUPREME WINNER
![]()
The Inspire+ NZ Artisan Awards saw its biggest year yet, with over 1,000 entries making it the largest food award programme in the country. Entrants have been patiently waiting in suspense for the award announcement and, of course, the Supreme Winner for 2022.
“This competition continues to support New Zealand artisanal producers. There is no charge for entry, and the prize package is geared around supporting the supreme winner in the next step on their brand journey,” said head judge and SupermarketNews publisher Tania Walters.
“This is now the largest competition of its type in New Zealand.”
Not only was this year’s competition a record-breaker, but it also brought about changes to the judging criteria. Due to the overwhelming number of highquality entries that have grown year after year, this year, there was no limit on the number of products receiving recognition.
“In the past, the awards were structured through a process that reduced the number of entries to Category Finalists, a Category Winner and Highly Commended product mentions. From the Category Winners, a Supreme Award winner was then selected,” said Walters.
“The new criteria saw products judged individually rather than comparing them to what were very broad categories. Products were recognised with a Bronze, Silver or Gold award if they met the development standard; this included analysing the level of consumer demand in the category, degree of innovation, fit-forpurpose claims, visual appeal, price point, packaging, sustainability, shelf-life, mouth feel, taste, distribution and market relevance.
“A Supreme Winner from the award recipients was then selected by the judging panel.”
As has been the trend over recent years, the products entered are of an exceptionally high calibre, and all entrants should be proud of their efforts in bringing the best in food and beverage innovation to consumers. The judges worked hard, evaluating the exceptional lineup of brands and awarding product recognition by way of Bronze, Silver or Gold awards.
“We were thrilled to be a part of the judging panel for the 2022 Inspire+ NZ Artisan Awards,” expressed Danielle Lendich, CEO Wendy’s NZ.
“These awards are a great opportunity for brands to show off their innovative products; we were so excited to see what producers came up with.”
“A big congratulations to Roti Bros on taking out the Supreme Award and a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and judges for their time and expertise in contributing to another successful year of celebrating the best food and beverage that New Zealand has to offer,” Walters concluded.
Even though the Inspire+ NZ Artisan Awards are over for another year, it doesn’t mean we don’t stay connected. n
