Announcing the 2025 CPG Awards for Consumer Packaged Goods

Introducing the 2025 Consumer Packaged Goods Awards
The Original Brand & Food & Beverage Magazine proudly announces the initiation of the 2025 CPG Awards, a prestigious event that aims to honor excellence among shelf-stable consumer packaged goods (CPG). This competition is designed to give brands an incredible opportunity to display their innovative products to key industry buyers and decision-makers across the United States.
Why Participate in the CPG Awards?
The CPG Awards seek to offer brand recognition to any shelf-stable products found in the consumer market. With a focus on outstanding quality, authenticity, taste, ingredients, and nutritional value, winning a CPG Award can significantly elevate both emerging and established brands. It allows them to enjoy national exposure and credibility within the industry, which is invaluable in today’s competitive marketplace.
Categories and Recognition
In addition to honoring excellence in food and beverage categories, the CPG Awards celebrate outstanding packaging design. Participants may win accolades for both taste and design, giving them a unique advantage over competitors. The platform not only recognizes the products but also the creativity behind their packaging, thus promoting a comprehensive approach to excellence.
Your Chance to Shine
"Every year, over 30,000 new consumer packaged goods are launched in the market," stated Michael S. Politz, the publisher and founder of Food & Beverage Magazine. "In such a bustling market, winning a CPG Award does not only mean winning a trophy—it serves as a significant endorsement that helps brands gain valuable shelf space in retailers. This award can assist in building buyer confidence and propel brands further. Effective branding can truly make a difference, and our CPG Awards highlight that for exceptional products and innovators."
Eligibility and Categories
The CPG Awards welcome entries from both domestic and international brands that fit the criteria of shelf-stable food service and CPG products. Participants are evaluated based on multiple factors, including taste, value, health benefits, preparation ease, and overall usability.
Moreover, the awards recognize a variety of specialty and nutritional categories that go beyond standard classifications. Labels highlighting health-forward aspects such as Low-Sodium, Fat-Free, Sugar-Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, and Gluten-Free are also celebrated. This not only allows brands focusing on health to stand out but also positions them as leaders in the market committed to consumer well-being.

Michele Tell, founder of The Original Brand and executive director of the CPG Awards said, "This distinctive platform offers genuine business opportunities where recognition translates into commercial success."
