The sixth annual Made in Alberta Awards are back and better than ever. Presented by Avenue magazine, the awards celebrate the ingenuity, creativity and quality of Alberta-made products.
This year, there are 11 award categories: the Amy Willier Award for Indigenous Artisans, furnishings and home decor, fashion and accessories, games and leisure, beauty, food (savoury and sweet), drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), craft and unique products.
Once again, one overall winner will receive a grand prize of $5,000 this year. But that’s not the only reason you should consider entering. There are plenty of perks and prizes that make it worth it whether you’re a winner or not.
Here are five reasons you should consider entering the 2024 Made in Alberta Awards
1. One overall winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize.
2. The overall winner and category winners in each category will be featured in the Made in Alberta Awards coverage in Avenue‘s September/October 2024 print issue. Additionally, the winners and up to five runners-up in each category will be featured on social media and the Made in Alberta Awards website.
3. Every single eligible entrant will be featured on the Made in Alberta Awards website for the Readers’ Choice Award. The winner of the Readers’ Choice Award will be determined by an online voting process. In 2023, more than 5,000 readers voted.
4. The judging panel, including editors of Avenue, will review all entries, so you guarantee that your product is seen by experts in your field and the editors of Alberta’s largest lifestyle publication.
