BIFDAs judging completed

The judging panel for the Beverage Innovation Functional Drinks Awards 2012 has completed its deliberations and the finalists and winners have been selected, but you’ll have to wait until 20 March to learn the final results.

The panel considered more than 80 entries in 21 categories, received from 19 countries.

Finalists and winners will be announced during a ceremony at a special awards gala dinner at The Honourable Society of The Inner Temple located in the heart of London's legal quarter on 20 March 2012, staged as part of the 8th InnoBev Global Beverages Congress.

If you can't make it to this prestigious event, then look out for a movie here on FoodBev.com on 21 March that will showcase all the entries, plus announce finalists and winners.

A showcase magazine is also being produced, which will be available with the next issue of Beverage Innovation magazine.

The Beverage Innovation Functional Drinks Awards 2012 is kindly sponsored by Aptar Food + Beverage.

Bill Bruce is group editorial director of FoodBev Media and editor of Water Innovation magazine.
