Why Should I Enter?

The Australian Food Awards is Australia’s leading national fine food awards program, celebrating excellence and recognising the best Australian food producers across major categories, including Bread and Baked Goods, Chocolate and Confectionery, Dairy, Meat and Smallgoods, and Sweet and Savoury Preserves.

The Awards offer broad opportunities for Australian producers to leverage success locally and internationally with the AFA’s national brand seal of excellence and present producers, large and small, with the chance to establish their credentials in the Australian food industry and providing differentiation in the market for award winners.
