  • The Bramley Campaign has announced details of its annual Brammy Awards and has unveiled a brand new category in the industry accolades

For the first time this year, there will be an award for the best Bramley apple foodservice product, as well as awards in five other categories covering best Bramley manufactured savoury product, best Bramley manufactured sweet product, best Bramley sauce, best retailer and best catering or food service company.

The closing date for applications is 5 June and the winners will be announced on 22 July. Adrian Barlow, Campaign chairman said: “With the new food service product award, we will be looking at products that have been specially created for that channel. It is an increasingly important area as so many more people are eating out now.”

For the best retailer award, the judges will be looking for considerable in-store support for fresh Bramley apples and this year the campaign will invite consumers to nominate and vote for their favourite Bramley apple product through bramleyapples.co.uk.

Adrian Barlow, organiser of the Bramley Campaign said: “This has been an exceptional year for the Bramley, with a significant increase in sales. This has been in large part due to the commitment and continued support of retailers, manufacturers and food service companies and the Brammy Awards are intended to recognise and celebrate their efforts.” The Brammy Awards are now in their 17th year.
