The International V-Label Awards will return for the third time this year, celebrating positive impact in the plant-based industry.
For this yearâs event, V-Label has partnered with Plant Based World Expo Europe, the continentâs only fully plant-based B2B trade show. Applications are now open until the end of July.
The expert-judged categories â slightly altered from last year â are Sustainability, Innovation, Marketing & Branding, and the Consumersâ Choice Award. Vegan food products, beverages, cosmetics, and non-food products are all eligible.
The jury will include industry experts such as Vikas Garg of abillion and The Vegan Agency founder Paula Gonzalez Carracedo. Representatives of prominent plant-based organizations and media outlets, such as the ProVeg Incubator and vegconomist, will also be present.

Innovative vegan products
Last yearâs V-Label Awards saw 260 entries from over 30 countries, with the winning products including bettermoo(d)âs cheeses, VEGDOGâs dog food, and Bettaf!shâs tuna-style spreads. Just days after its award win, VEGDOG went on to secure âŹ3.5 million in a Series A round.
2022 also saw the inclusion of non-food products for the first time, with awards for cosmetics, textiles, and even a printing service. V-Label believes this yearâs awards will be even more impactful.
âWe are excited for this yearâs edition of the International V-Label Awards. I am very curious about the submissions from producers and retailers that want to showcase their innovative vegan products that are better for the planet and animals,â said Martin Ranninger, V-Label Internationalâs co-director. âI look forward to collaborating with both our internal and external expert partners who will be judging this yearâs submissions.â
