The Soil Association is opening the BOOM Awards 2017 (Best of Organic Market) for entries, following last year's success.

The BOOMs will make some noise about organic and celebrate the very best in organic products and places to eat.

Rosie Birkett the cook, food writer and author is this year’s celebrity ambassador.

The BOOM awards celebrate the people and businesses working hard to give people the organic food they want.

They will be judged by an independent panel of well-known experts in food. The awards also include categories for the growing range of places organic food is available – from restaurants to caterers, retailers to box schemes.

The public can also nominate their organic heroes; the people who really make a difference every day. All organic food and drink businesses are encouraged to enter.

Clare McDermott, Business Development Director, Soil Association Certification says: “The 2017 BOOMs are going to be bigger and better, the organic market is constantly growing and more and more people are looking for and talking about organic.

“With hundreds of new products launched last year alone, this is our chance to really make some noise about organic.”

Judging takes place on 2-5 May 2017 in central London with a collection of high profile judges on the panel. Anyone in the organic industry or who has organic as part of their business can enter the BOOM Awards.
