Filed by Bill Bruce
The water innovation awards are designed to recognise excellence and creativity on a unique global platform for the packaged water industry.
“The worldwide packaged water industry continues to innovate at an impressive rate, giving consumers more choice and providing hydration solutions for every consumption occasion from on-the-go to fine dining,” said water innovation magazine editor Medina Bailey. “At the same time, the industry has taken the initiative in actively addressing the environmental agenda, and also adopted a leading role in the ethical and humanitarian arena. Add entertaining, and often educational, marketing to the mix and you can see why the water innovation awards provide a great platform to celebrate excellence and innovation across the global packaged water industry. They will also be an incentive and an inspiration for others in the industry to follow suit.

“There are 17 exciting categories, covering brands, products and packaging of every sort, as well as categories designed to celebrate success in environmental sustainability, ethical and humanitarian initiatives, and marketing. Be sure to check out our three new categories, which will enable ingredients and technical companies to also take part.
“Entries close on 10 September 2010, and an international panel of industry experts will gather to judge the entries in London on 3 and 4 October. The last water innovation awards saw over 200 entries from 40 countries. We are hoping to break that record this year, ensuring a major celebration of success for the global packaged water industry. All entries will feature in the 2010 water innovation awards Showcase magazine, so don’t miss out – enter your company’s products and achievements now. Good luck”.
“Beginning as the bottledwaterworld design awards in 2002, this is FoodBev Media’s longest established international awards scheme,” said FoodBev Media Group Editorial Director Bill Bruce. “Having presented previous water awards in Paris, Dubai, Ferrara and Wiesbaden, it’s great to see the programme coming home this year as the announcement of finalists and winners will be announced at a special awards Gala Dinner during the Global Bottled Water Congress in Gleneagles, Scotland, on 2 November.
“One clear measure of the popularity of the awards has been the interest from sponsors. I am delighted to announce that, at launch, we have already secured one company – Stora Enso – sponsor of the Best new label or decorative finish category.
