NEW ENTRY DEADLINE

WEDNESDAY 1 MAY

The entry deadline has been extended!

Due to the volume of entries still coming in, we've decided to extend the deadline to Wednesday 1 May to ensure that everyone has enough time to submit their entries. This means you have one more week to tell us why you, your products, or business are among the very best the baking industry has to offer. The industry's ultimate and most glamorous awards night will return to the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Thursday 24 October 2024 and we would love to see you there.

For the past 35 years, we have welcomed hundreds of professionals to the Baking Industry Awards for a standout night of entertainment, celebration and networking. Attendees include everyone from local artisan specialists to retail giants including Lidl, Tesco's and Marks & Spencer's just to name a few.

Winning one of these industry-acclaimed awards opens up a whole host of opportunities for you and your business. Simply being in attendance at the awards will give you a unique and rare opportunity to network with like-minded people, get advice from some top industry professionals and explore different opportunities on how to build your business with help from industry peers.

With 13 diverse awards categories, there is something for everyone. From Bakery Retailer of the Year to Sustainability Initiative of the Year to the newly introduced Bakery Brand of the Year, there really is something for bakers and bakery businesses alike, from the manufacturing giants to your local village bakery.

Could 2024 be your year to shine?
