Love British Food, in association with its Official Retail Partner, Morrisons, is delighted to announce the launch of the 2024 Community Competition in celebration of British Food Fortnight.

Running from 20th September to 6th October, the competition seeks to recognise and celebrate the individuals, organisations, and communities that are making “good food available for all.”

This year, the Community Competition invites everyone to take part—from community volunteers, chefs, and caterers to businesses, schools, pubs, restaurants, retailers, care homes, hospitals, and even entire villages, towns, and cities. The aim is to spotlight activities that bring British food to life, and create a lasting legacy within communities.

The competition is open to everyone who plays a role in making fresh, healthy British food more available in their community. Previous entries have included:

  • Schools: Creating vegetable gardens or mini farms.
  • Social Care: Organising regular food gatherings for the elderly and isolated.
  • Community Leaders: Offering cooking classes through community hubs or local pubs.
  • Retailers: Ensuring their store provides a reliable source of healthy seasonal food.
  • Markets: Bringing fresh, healthy food into the heart of communities.
  • Hospitals: Improving food options for patients and visitors.
  • Pubs and Restaurants: Going the extra mile to offer seasonal, healthy menus.
  • Charities and Community Groups: Working to ease food insecurity.

To enter, participants should share their story of what they did during British Food Fortnight 2024 to make good food available to all. Take plenty of photos and post them on social media, tagging #BritishFoodFortnight. Entries should also be emailed to [email protected] with a description of the activity in no more than 500 words.
