Entries for the awards are welcome across 17 categories that cover ingredients, finished products, companies and initiatives in the nutrition and food supplements industry.
We will celebrate our finalists and announce the winners at an ‘invitation only’ event in Barcelona on May 21, 2025.
But why should you enter? We’ll give you a few good reasons:
1. It helps you stand out from the crowd
Yes, all awards do this, but NutraIngredients is a respected and trusted leader in this industry and so winning a NutraIngredients Award is significant. Previous finalists and winners proudly display their achievements in advertisements and at trade shows. You, too, could join the select list of finalists and winners.
2. We focus on all areas of the industry
In addition to the ingredients and products, we also give other stakeholders the chance to shine with categories that include Marketing Initiative, Sustainability Initiative, Innovation in Women’s Health, Nutrition Research Project and our Start-up Award.
3. Our NutraChampions
The industry has a lot of giants, people who have built successful companies and organizations and had a lasting impact on health and wellness. Our NutraChampions to date include Dr. Luca Bucchini, Dr. Nora Khaldi, Dr. Arthur Ouwehand, Dr. Sandra Einerhand, Dr. Bengt Jeppsson, Dr. Daniel Ramon Vidal and Dr. Muhammad Majeed. All have made profound contributions to the industry. It is an honor for us to recognize these people, particularly those who have done so much, often behind-the-scenes.
4. We showcase the next big thing
Our Start-Up category recognizes those companies that are up-and-coming and are doing it the right way, building their businesses on strong science, robust partnerships and collaborations, and exemplary ethics. Previous winners include Maolac, Astrobiome, CLINICNCELL, KÄÄPÄ Biotech, NORDIQ Nutrition, Nutrinovate, Pharmako Biotechnologies, and Quinta Quinoa. Does your Start-Up have what it takes?
5. We’ve tweaked the categories for 2025
The 2025 awards feature some changes to previous years: We’ve watched the market evolve and consulted with our judges, and we’ve decided to add Botanical Ingredient, Beauty-from-Within Product and Marketing Initiative of the Year categories. We’ve also changed the Cognitive Function Ingredient category to Mind and Mood Ingredient.
We now have 17 categories across ingredients, finished products, people, companies and initiatives.
6. Our judges
With the exception of our Editors’ Award, all of our categories are judged by independent industry experts. Being named a finalist or a winner means you’ve convinced some of the most respected and knowledgeable people there are, and that makes your achievement even more impressive.
7. Editorial coverage
Being named a finalist—and of course winning as well—are newsworthy events. The articles we write about the awards put the names of participating companies in front of our readership, which is the most engaged in the business, as NutraIngredients is the No. 1 daily news resource for the functional food, beverage and supplements industry.
So, what are you waiting for—submit your entry today!
The closing date for entries is Monday, Feb. 3, 2025 at 11:55pm CET, Paris.
