Sample instructions 1

Sample instructions 2

Quantity and specification
The 2026 rules required at least two samples per product/flavour for each international judge; this is not asserted as a confirmed 2027 quantity.
Delivery
The 2026 page gives 21 September–11 October receipt and September address notices. These are not the 2027 window; use the new registration instructions.
Costs and responsibilities
The reviewed public rules do not fully assign freight, import tax, insurance and return costs. Confirm responsibilities with organiser and carrier before shipping; these are not assumed free or included in entry.
Return and retention
The reviewed rules do not fully explain return, retention or disposal. Confirm whether return is available, collection deadlines and costs before dispatch.

Assessment and recognition

How entries are assessed

Relevant industry specialists assess each category. Innovation, design and taste categories have different objects.

Recognition and permitted use

Finalists or winners may use the relevant title, certificate and communications materials under the organiser's permission.

Official sources and verification

This is an independently maintained reference record. The organiser’s current rules govern eligibility, deadlines, charges and the award decision. The review date describes source verification, not a new publication of organiser rules.
