Winner Webinar: PMG's winter 2023 contest of the Produce Artist Award Series
For many of us, winter is a memory, but your awesome produce merchandising displays are not — especially as we’ve received, sorted, judged and now publicized the top contest submissions for the recent season.
Welcome to PMG’s Produce Artist Award Series, a quarterly contest among produce managers and merchandisers, showcasing their produce artistry, strategy and know-how.
This season, we went even more global than ever — reaching produce professionals beyond our borders (or far-flung military bases).
On this webinar, our judges provide feedback, including raves and (mild) criticism, along with anecdotes, tips and suggestions based on the winning photos. They are both regular columnists for The Packer and Produce Market Guide.
- Joe Watson: Vice president of retail, foodservice and wholesale for International Fresh Produce Association; former director of produce for Rouses Market; and 2014 Produce Retailer of the Year.
- Armand Lobato: Foodservice promotion director of the Idaho Potato Commission; formerly a produce category manager, merchandiser and buyer.
Watch the on-demand Winner Webinar to get schooled in produce merchandising best practices and be inspired. Hear what the judges had to say about each winner’s work.
