THE WATERCRESS FESTIVAL, 15 MAY

ENTER THE WATERCRESS FOOD AWARDS AT
THE ALRESFORD WATERCRESS FESTIVAL ON SUNDAY 18 MAY
AND WIN CASH PRIZES!
Calling all Watercress Festival stall holders and shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants
in Alresford! Submit your watercress products for the Watercress Food Awards
2014 and you could be in with the chance of winning £100.
This year we’ve increased the number of categories to be judged by internationally
acclaimed food writer and author, Lucas Hollweg and local MP, Steve Brine at
the Watercress Festival on Sunday 18 May.
The Categories:
 Sausages & Burgers
 Soups & Sauces
 Sweet Treats
 Most Innovative (for any produce that doesn’t fall into the categories
above)
An overall Festival winner will be selected from the four categories
The winner of each category will be awarded £100 cash, together with a trophy and
certificate. The overall Festival winner will receive an additional £100 to recognise
their achievement. Winners will not only have been judged by Lucas Hollweg, the
Guild of Food Writers' Cookery Columnist of the Year 2012, regular columnist for
Waitrose Kitchen magazine and contributor to the Times, Delicious, Sainsbury's
Magazine and House & Garden, but they will feature in a press release to be sent to
the local and national media and appear on www.watercress.co.uk, all providing
valuable free publicity for their business - so there’s everything to go for!
