Contest looking for next Ohio signature food

From CENTER FOR INNOVATIVE FOOD TECHNOLOGY

With an emphasis on new and innovative food products, Ohioans have the opportunity to land their product on store shelves with the Ohio Signature Food Contest!

Sponsored by the Center for Innovative Food Technology and Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, the contest helps facilitate economic growth and job creation in the Ohio food/agriculture industry – the number one industry in the state that already contributes more than $107 billion to the economy.

Contestants complete a simple online form outlining the basic details of their product, and food industry experts will judge based on viability of the product, commercialization potential, business strategy, marketability and overall appeal to the marketplace.

Products do not need to be fully designed or ready for market, rather an ability to communicate a specific vision.
