Soil Association Certification is delighted to announce the extension of the closing date of entries for the 2023 BOOM (Best of Organic Market) Awards, in partnership with Huboo. The awards honour the brands, businesses and people behind the UK’s organic industry and entry is open to all certified organic businesses.

In recognition of the busy time of year for all businesses, the deadline for entries to the awards has been extended by two weeks. This will enable as many certified-organic businesses as possible to enter and ensure Soil Association Certification deliver the most competitive and exciting organic awards in the UK.

Now in their tenth year the bi-annual BOOM Awards are a celebration of excellence across organic farming, beauty and wellbeing, fashion and textiles and food and drink, reflecting the fantastic range of organic-certified businesses working to restore nature, health and a safe
climate.

Entry is free for small businesses*, in recognition of these challenging times and with generous support from sponsors Huboo, CH&Co, Clearspring, Diversified Communications, English Tea Shop, Natracare, Norlo, Ooooby, Rachel’s Organic, RB Organic Ltd, Robin Appel Ltd. and Yarrah. All finalists will receive a free invitation to the awards ceremony as well as a comprehensive asset pack to help them to promote and market their achievement.

Alex Cullen, Commercial & Marketing Director for Soil Association Certification, said: “We are delighted to extend the entries for the BOOM
Awards. This year’s awards entry window was shorter than previous years and we recognise that November and December are hugely busy for all businesses, so extending the closing date gives businesses the opportunity to get their products in front of our professional panels of judges and get recognised for their incredible work, producing high quality organic products in a way that works with nature, not against it.”   

Judging for the Food & Drink product categories will take place in Bristol in April and May 2023. The Beauty & Wellbeing, Fashion & Textiles, and Home Product Awards, and the Business Awards will be judged remotely in March, April, and May. All finalists will be contacted shortly after the judging to confirm they have been shortlisted for an award, and by the beginning of June 2023 at the latest.
