Announcing:
Startup CPG Shelfie Awards!

The First Annual Shelfies Awards, proudly sponsored by Survey.com, will recognize the most promising emerging food & beverage brands.

Emmy’s of Emerging Food & Beverage

Our mission at Startup CPG is to elevate emerging food and beverage brands. Since our inception, we have been keenly attentive to the unique challenges and opportunities that 1-5 person emerging CPG brands face. Among these challenges is the cost and labor barrier to nominating products for big-name awards. Yet the recognition of a best-in-class award could be the catalyst to turn an emerging product into a moonshot. Thus, we are delighted to announce the Shelfies, which will award Best-In-Class prizes to the most promising 1-5 person emerging food & beverage brands.

Winners of the 10 Shelfie Awards will be featured in a special edition of The Spotlight magazine, gain unprecedented recognition in the emerging CPG space, and receive exclusive access to Startup CPG’s major industry partnerships.
