WHO WILL BE CROWNED UKTV FOOD’S LOCAL FOOD HERO 2006?

In July, FARMA partnered with UKTV Food in the quest to find the UK’s favourite Local Food Hero. UKTV Food : Local Hero 2006 is a major new food award that seeks out and honours those people who go the extra mile to create great local food and offer valuable service to their community.

If you were nominated for the award, you should have received a window sticker and you’ll find your business listed permanently in the Local Food Hero directory on www.uktvfood.co.uk. There were over 4,000 businesses nominated and 40,000 public votes so the competition was extremely tough! UKTV Food has finally whittled down a shortlist of local food heroes from ten UK regions so now’s the time to find out who’s in the running to win the £40,000 prize and the coveted Local Food Hero 2006 title.

Witness the crowning glory of UKTV Food’s Local Hero by watching the series fronted by Gary Rhodes, weeknights at 8pm on UKTV Food.

If you didn’t make it through this year or you missed out on being nominated yourself, there will be plenty of opportunity to get involved next year. Please visit www.uktvfood.co.uk for more information.
