products judged by a panel of food brokers, buyers and other food industry experts. Contestants were awarded points based on flavor, Georgia theme, unique or innovative qualities, commercial appeal and originality. Finalists were chosen from 89 entries from all across Georgia. “We typically see submissions from most of the major state commodities and have a broad representation,” says Sharon P. Kane, contest organizer and a UGA CAED food business development specialist. This year’s other final products included pork, Vidalia onions and pecans, as well as blueberries, milk and shrimp. “Flavor of Georgia is only a starting point for many of the category winners,” Kane says. She followed up with the 2010 winners and found that nearly 90 percent increased their sales and business contacts as a result of the contest. More than 80 percent experienced increased interest in their products, and 75 percent saw an increase in the publicity for their product.
