International Bakery Awards

Introducing the International Bakery Awards
An awards show that upholds, recognises and celebrates the achievements of those working at the forefront of the global bakery industry. Proudly presented in collaboration with the International Bakery Live event series.

These awards are more than just a ceremony. They are a commitment. At International Bakery, we champion innovators and thought leaders who are driving progress and creativity across the sector. Building on the success of our live event series and our position as a leading voice in B2B bakery publishing, our mission goes beyond reporting. We are here to foster growth, spark innovation and set new benchmarks for the future of baking.

This is not just about celebrating the best of today, but about envisioning a brighter, more dynamic future for the entire industry.
Our awards are free to nominate, because we believe everyone in the industry deserves recognition.

Mark your calendar! Finalists will be notified in  October 2026, and the grand announcement of our winners will take place during the awards event, streaming live on Thursday 26th November 2026.
