The Editors' Award is decided on by our award-winning editors of NutraIngredients' North American edition. This award celebrates the best industry initiative and is open to any program, project or platform that is able to demonstrate deep and significant improvements for the wider industry. If your organization has launched a significant initiative to improve quality, transparency, consumer confidence and trust in the dietary supplements’ industry, then we want to hear from you. Company-centic initiatives do not quality.

Our judges will base their decision on evidence for:

• A novel or innovative program, project, or platform that increases consumer trust and transparency
• Demonstrable success, including evidence of retailer and consumer interest and any other accolades won
• What gives your initiative the ‘X factor’ – how does it move the industry forward
