The VegfestUK Awards 2021, held over the last 2-and-a-bit weeks, have been yet another fantastic period in which to celebrate together some of the best products, brands, activists, charities, organisations, projects & animal sanctuaries in the business.
But alas, all good things must come to an end. And as you may have seen by tuning into Global Vegfest 2 this evening, the results are in!
In case you missed the livestream, and would like to catch up, you can watch it in the Global Vegfest 2 Event Programme, right here:
To summarise the results, the following table charts the winners and runners-up for 2021. There can only be one overall winner in each category, but a heartfelt congratulations is extended from us here at VegfestUK to every nominee – and if you’re listed below, an extra congratulations for finishing so highly in this year’s competition!

2022
So what’s on the horizon, some of you may be wondering? Well, Global Vegfest 2 (with still a day to go tomorrow – Sunday 19th December is another packed day of livestreams remember!) is the last action of ours before the Christmas holidays, but we will be back in 2022 with lots more content, in the form of online magazine issues from Força Vegan AND Plant Powered Planet, we’ll have more Global Vegfest events…
