The International Chocolate Awards is pleased to announce the Grand Jury Finalists of the second Scandinavian Regional Competition, which was judged in Copenhagen, Denmark, 4 – 6 March 2015.
The judging panel included judges from Denmark, Italy, the USA and UK and members of our international Grand Jury panel.
The Grand Jury Finalists are the entries that made it through to the final Grand Jury round, following two days of Main round judging. The Finalists are the nominations from which the Grand Jury select the prize winners, through private voting. The Grand Jury follow strict rules, which you can read here (PDF).
While listing as a Grand Jury Finalist is an achievement in itself, it does not necessarily indicate that the entry will receive a prize.
The 2015 Scandinavian Regional Grand Jury Finalists are:
