The Ohio Signature Food Contest

The Toledo City Paper depends on readers like you! Become a friend today. See membership options

The Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) and the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) are sponsoring the Ohio Signature Food Contest. Open to the public, contestants will be judged on marketability, integration of local ingredients, and overall consumer appeal. Finalists will then present the food product and a business concept to a panel of judges. Concepts don’t have to be complete, but a clear vision is essential. Winners will receive assistance to eventually get their product on grocery store shelves.

 

Online submissions are due by Wednesday, June 22.
