Tips from the Preliminary Judges on producing the perfect dossier

  • Read the brief and think what it means and how it applies to your product. 
  • Make sure your product has a strong eco backbone and doesn't feel like it has been shoe horned into the competition with tenuous links to eco themes. Cover the environmental aspects in a comprehensive and meaningful manner from the start, rather than attempting to justify them afterwards.
  • The competition is a European one - so do not make it all about food miles in your village unless it can be replicated in villages all over the EU

How does it feel to be recognised as 'Member of the Month'?

I was surprised and humbled to be chosen as it is only in the past 6 months that I have been able to give back significant time and energy to assisting IFST although I've been a Member for over 20 years.
