About the GFA's
Founded in 2010, The Annual Gluten-Free Awards is the premier award honoring outstanding gluten free products, organizations, and services. Winners represent the best work of the most respected gluten free non-profits, food producers, bloggers, and authors in the world. Every Gluten Free Award Winner has been selected by thousands of people in the gluten-free community similar to the popular People's Choice Awards.
This December, Josh Schieffer co-creator of The Annual Gluten-Free Awards has published the 5th Annual GFA Award results in the 2015 Gluten-Free Buyers Guide. "The December publishing schedule is important to us. We know people start looking for gluten-free support in December to help them sustain gluten-free New Year resolutions. When we connect those people with the best products and services early enough, their chances of sustaining a gluten-free lifestyle increases dramatically. We are also reaching major distributors and category managers giving them valuable information that helps promote better inventory turns." Josh Schieffer
The gluten-free products market will reach $6.2 billion by 2018, according to a new report from MarketsandMarkets. This is great news for gluten-free food producers; however, the problem will become product differentiation as competition grows. Those with solid award performance will have the ability to market their early successes and establish their products as "Best in Class".
Companies interested in having their gluten-free products entered into the 6th Annual Gluten-Free Awards should do so by August 22, 2015. Public voting will begin on September 1st with the results coming out December 2015 in the 2016 Gluten-Free Buyers Guide.
