2013 Produce Awards

Do you know a spectacular artisan baker? A cheese-maker that deserves recognition? Or a food market so fabulous that it gets you up and out of bed early on a Saturday morning? Now’s the time to share your knowledge!

Nominate your favourite producer, product or outlet in this year's Eat Out DStv Food Network Produce Awards.

Why the awards?
Previously known as the Eat In Produce Awards and sister to our restaurant awards, the Eat Out DStv Food Network Produce Awards aim to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding, independent South African producers for their integrity, care for the environment, passion and innovation. Of course, an outlet is a vital connection between the producers and public, which is why the awards also recognise the stores, shops and market for their vital role in the process.

How it works
There are 13 categories from which to choose. You can make as many nominations as you like, but it’s only necessary to nominate a producer or product once. Submit your nomination below. Once you've clicked 'submit nomination', you can submit a second nomination; the other fields will remain filled.

Having trouble? You can also email your nomination to info@eatout.co.za. Nominations close on 15 January 2013.
