The ceremony for the 2020 FOOD XX Awards, in partnership with Woolworths, may have been postponed due to the pandemic, but it has certainly not lost its impact. Elizka Ferreira, Head Brand Communications: Woolworths Food, Special Occasions, Engen and TASTE says that it’s even more important to acknowledge and celebrate the amazing women in the food and drinks industry who have shown such strength and resilience.

When Hannerie Visser, FOOD XX (pronounced: /fuːd eks eks/) director and founder of Studio H, launched the FOOD XX Awards in 2019, little did she know that the biggest challenge for her beloved industry was about to hit. 

“We wanted to create a platform where we could celebrate and support women in the industry, which is needed now more than ever. This year we are celebrating an exceptional group of strong, powerful and resilient women who have fought to keep their businesses alive, and who have navigated the biggest crisis of their lives with strength, poise and grace,” says Visser.

Nominations were open to the public and the awards were judged by the inaugural winners who selected a winner in each category.

We love and support everyone.”
