Calling all dairy plants in the U.S. and Canada – did you receive your entry forms for the World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest? Be sure to enter your company’s products in this unique and competitive contest! Entries are due by August 8, 2008.
This year’s contest promises to be even bigger and better since it will be expanding to include a wider variety of dairy products: cheese, yogurt, ice cream, sour cream, sour cream based-dips, whipping cream, sherbet, buttermilk, butter, cottage cheese, whey, fluid milk and an innovative category. As an added bonus, this year’s contest will have 2 GRAND CHAMPIONS—a Grand Champion of cheese and butter (sponsored by Cheese Market News) and a Grand Champion for Grade A products and ice cream (sponsored by Dairy Foods).
A company may submit as many entries as they wish. All entry forms must be mailed to the Wisconsin Dairy Products Assn. by August 8, 2008. Once a company has submitted their entry forms and fees, they must ship their contest entries during the week of August 18-21, 2008.
Judging will take place on the following dates:
August 26 – ice cream, sherbet, whey products and creative/innovative technologies
August 27—cheese and butter
August 28—Yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, fluid milk, buttermilk, sour cream-based dips and whipping cream
After judging is concluded, all winners will be notified. The winning entries will then be auctioned off on Tuesday, September 30 at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis. A portion of the auction proceeds will be used to fund the Dr. Robert Bradley Scholarship, which will be awarded to a student pursuing a career in the dairy industry.
