For our 12th awards, we have made two categories free to enter, and we have introduced two new healthspan categories—Product of the Year and Ingredient of the Year —representing the growing innovation in this space.
But one thing staying the same this year is the city hosting our awards party. The celebration will be held in Barcelona on May 6, 2026—a night where the industry comes together to network, show its support and recognize excellence.
With the deadline for entry (Jan. 26) fast approaching, now is the time to consider all the reasons why you should enter…
- Rise above the noise
The supplement market is highly saturated, with both brands and ingredient suppliers facing intense competition. As a respected industry leader, winning a NutraIngredients award can help you stand out from the crowd and emphasize the quality of your product, ingredient, initiative or special project.
Previous winners stated winning one of our awards opened up new opportunities, helped put their company on the map and aided them in gaining new customers.
- Impress the judges
With the exception of our Editors’ Award for Sustainability Initiative of the Year, all our categories are judged by independent industry experts.
Being named as a finalist or winner means you have impressed some of the most respected and knowledgeable industry figures of the veracity of your product or ingredient’s claims.
- More categories = extended scope
Our two new healthspan categories mean that, for the first time, those working in the healthspan and longevity space can put forward innovative products and ingredients designed to support healthy aging.
From solutions that support cellular health to those that target inflammaging, our judges are looking for entries that represent the pinnacle of innovation in this space.
- Start-up and NutraChamp nominations are FREE!
While our NutraChampion award has long been free to enter, this year, you can also submit your company for our Start-Up Award at no cost. This move allows the industry’s best entrepreneurs to join the competition, whether they are several years in or just getting started. Previous winners include Clinicncell, KÄÄPÄ Biotech, NORDIQ Nutrition and Nutrinovate.
NutraChampion award entries are by nomination only and should clearly demonstrate the individual’s impact to the nutrition industry. This is your chance to shout about a colleague, friend or respected individual who is committed to advancing health, sustainability or equity through nutrition. Previous NutraChampions include Dr. Francesco Di Pierro, Luca Bucchini, Dr. Nora Khaldi and Dr. Arthur Ouwehand.
