Not all heroes wear capes. The NutraChampion Award celebrates individuals who have made a transformational impact on the nutrition industry — whether through policy leadership, scientific innovation, public education, or ingredient advocacy. This award recognises those who have gone above and beyond to shape the future of nutrition. 

Entries are by nomination only and should clearly demonstrate:

• Impact: Evidence of a lasting contribution to the nutrition industry.
• Recognition: Public visibility or influence beyond the sector.
• Potential for Good: A clear commitment to advancing health, sustainability, or equity through nutrition.

Whether driving new standards, increasing public understanding, or championing change, the NutraChampion leaves a legacy that inspires the entire community.

Judges will base their decision on a combination of:

• Evidence of a lasting impact on the nutrition industry
• Wider public recognition or public impact
• The potential for good

Whether driving new standards, increasing public understanding, or championing change, the NutraChampion leaves a legacy that inspires the entire community.
