2013 Hampshire Life Food & Drink Awards finalists
We are pleased to announce the 2013 Hampshire Life Food & Drink Awards finalists…
Nomination forms were inserted into the April, May and June issues of the magazine and online. Our readers were invited to recommend their favourite food producers, suppliers, retailers, restaurateurs and hoteliers. A panel of judges used set criteria to whittle down the 2,500 nominations we received to three finalists in each category, each of whom has been invited to the awards ceremony. The final judging stage will be conducted anonymously by an independent panel over the next month but winners will remain secret until the awards night itself at Four Seasons Hampshire on 22nd August.
We would like to thank our headline sponsor Colten Care and associate sponsor The Southern Co-operative for their support for this year’s awards.
