The Fine Print: The Innovation Award recipient is determined by judges based on the information submitted by the entrants. The judges will conduct no testing of the product or service. The selection of a particular product or service for the Innovation Award does not constitute an endorsement by NFDA or the judges. Selected products and services merely reflect the judging panel’s determination that, if the product or service in fact performs or functions as the submitted supporting documentation and materials claim, such product or service is more “innovative” than the others in its category. NFDA reserves the right to defer the award if there is not a suitable entrant.
