Announcing: Startup CPG Shelfie Finalists 2024
THE BIGGEST FREE AWARDS PROGRAM IN CPG, WITH OVER 1500 ENTIRES — FIND OUT WHO MADE THE FINALS
We are so thrilled to announce the 2024 Shelfies Finalists!
Our mission at Startup CPG is to elevate emerging food and beverage brands. Since our inception in 2020, we have been keenly attentive to the unique challenges that small emerging CPG brands face. Among these challenges is the cost and labor barrier to nominating products for big-name awards — so we created our own to recognize the best-of-the-best emerging CPG brands. After trying over 1,500 products, our 4th annual Shelfies Awards were our most competitive yet. Now, it’s time to meet the finalists who stood out among the crowd!
