2026 Award Entries Now Open
Entries are now open for the 2026 South Australian Premier’s Food and Beverage Industry Awards, officially marking the start of the state’s most prestigious celebration of excellence across the food and beverage sector.
Returning for 2026, the Awards shine a spotlight on the people, products and businesses driving South Australia’s largest manufacturing industry forward.

The 2026 program introduces refreshed and expanded categories, ensuring continued relevance to today’s industry landscape. The updates recognise the many ways businesses are achieving success — from building strong brands and market presence, to supporting their people and fostering positive workplace cultures. There is also a renewed focus on innovation, including the practical application of new technologies shaping the future of the sector.
Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Friday, 13 November 2026.
