The 2021 awards received more than 60 nominations and awarded four companies with the top prizes and recognized almost a dozen more with honorable mentions. This year the awards are expanding to five categories to honor more of the stellar communications work being produced by retailers, growers, and allied service companies alike. The categories are:

•    Website Marketing
•    Packaging Design
•    Social Media Marketing
•    Retail Promotions
•    Business-to-Consumer Messaging

Last year’s entries set the bar high, but we’re excited to share a new crop of nominees and winners with the industry – and for the first time at an in-person Sustainable Produce Summit event,” said Brock Nemecek, marketing manager for fresh produce at Farm Journal. “It takes great skill to effectively communicate the complexities of sustainability processes and programs, so those who do so successfully deserve to be recognized for their accomplishments which will also advance the industry as a whole.”
