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
