The 2022 International Cheese and Dairy Awards is now open for entry at formsinternationalcheeseawards.co.uk and this year's competition is set to attract a record number of entries championing world class cheese and dairy products.

"This year we're again anticipating close to 5,500 entries, which will be judged at the ICDAs in Staffordshire Showground, Stafford. Once again, we have invited experts from around the globe, bringing together like-minded people who are entirely focused on finding the world's finest cheese and dairy products," explained Debbie Stewart, of the International Cheese and Dairy Awards, which takes place on Thursday 30 June 2022, at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire Show Ground.

Winning one of these prestigious awards means being part of an elite group and 125 year old tradition of the very best in class. Success here brings high profile recognition by UK retailers and on the international stage as well as increased consumer sales.

The ICDA Awards judging will commence on Thursday 30 June 2022. All entries will be judged and whittled down in just one afternoon. Then the best cheeses will be voted for by a final judging panel later in the afternoon, when the 2022 Supreme Champion will be crowned.

Following the ICDA Awards will be Love Cheese Live, from Friday 1 – Saturday 2 July 2022

Tickets available from Love Cheese Live.

The ICDA Awards is open for entry until Friday 27 May 2022.
