The European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance (ESSNA) has announced the return of the ESSNawards, to be held at London’s Stamford Bridge stadium on Thursday, December 7th, 2023.
Now in its fifth year, the sports and active nutrition awards event celebrates success in the industry, honouring the latest products, supplements and brands, as well as highlighting major industry milestones – from innovative new ingredients to strides in sustainability.
This year’s ceremony is delivered by Whitehouse Communications in partnership with the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance, and will feature 10 awards. There are new categories such as Best Sports Hydration Drink and Sustainability Leader of the Year, as well as previous award areas such as Best Sports Nutrition Product, Most Exciting Partnership, and Best Free-From Product.
Previous editions of the awards have featured keynote addresses by some of Britain’s best ever sportspeople, including multi-gold winning Paralympian, Baroness Grey-Thompson, former European powerlifting champion and Team Jamaica’s Chloe Whylie, and England Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup winner, Martin Norris.
Brands and businesses interested in entering the 2023 ESSNawards can enjoy a limited early bird offer by submitting their entries by June 15th. Entries before this date are also eligible for a 20% discount on ceremony tickets.
The deadline for standard entries closes on September 1st. Companies entering more than two categories can benefit from 25% off on additional entries.
Dr Luca Bucchini, Chair of ESSNA, said “For the fifth year running, we are proud to be hosting Europe’s premier awards ceremony for the sports and active nutrition industry.
“With every edition of the ESSNawards, we celebrate companies – both new and established – as they pioneer the latest cutting-edge ingredients and supplements helping to propel elite athletes and everyday consumers alike to new heights.
“This year’s awards, held at the home of Chelsea Football Club, Stamford Bridge, promises to be even better, and we can’t wait to see what our friends and colleagues in the industry have to showcase.”
Chris Whitehouse, Chairman and Managing Director of Whitehouse Communications, said “Since 2019, the ESSNawards have commended the very best products and campaigns from across the sports and active nutrition industry, helping consumers and athletes make the best choices for their goals.
