The World Beverage Innovation Awards 2022, sponsored by Ecolean and in association with drinktec, is a celebration of innovation and excellence across the global beverage industry. We asked the second half of our judging panel what they are hoping to see from this year’s entrants.
There are 23 trophies to be won in total, and being shortlisted provides a hallmark of success that will prevail long after the awards draw to a close.
These judges’ criteria points will hopefully offer inspiration and help in crafting the winning entry.
The deadline for entries is Friday 22 July.
