Voting for this year’s VegfestUK Awards has just begun, with altogether 180 nominees vying for 18 trophies across multiple categories in the world of veganism.

Running since 2007, the Awards celebrate the best of a vegan lifestyle across 18 categories with 10 nominees each, and this year the Organisers have introduced a number of new categories in Best Vegan Festival, Best Vegan Bags and Best Vegan Superfood Brand, in response to the huge growth in quantity and quality in vegan festivals and vegan superfood brands. Other categories range from “meats”, “cheeses”, cakes, chocolate, desserts and ready meals, to magazines, online resources, bodycare, clothing, footwear, on top of caterers and restaurants/cafes.

The Organisers of the Awards said, “It’s wonderful to be hosting the Awards for another year, bringing together the nation’s crème de la crème vegan products and services, and hence showing everybody the depth and breadth of all things vegan in a very positive fashion in 2018. Just looking at our list of nominees fills us with joy and admiration for how far we’ve come in terms of the variety available in the vegan market these days.”

Voting for the Awards will close at 6pm on Sunday October 14^th 2018. The Awards trophies will be handed out to the winners, at the VegfestUK Awards Ceremony as part of VegfestUK London, scheduled on Saturday October 27^th 2018 in the Auditorium at Olympia Conference Centre (exact time TBC). The full results will be announced online shortly afterwards.
