World Jersey Cheese Awards 2012 Call for Entries

Hello cheesemakers-

This is just a reminder that entries for the World Jersey Cheese Awards are due Friday, September 21. If you’ve already entered and haven’t received your confirmation and shipping instructions, please contact coordinator Alison Le Gallais (wjcb@royaljersey.co.uk).

The online entry form can be found on the Jersey Cheese Awards website. Contest rules can also be found on the website. Entry size will be limited to 1 pound (500g) due to the contest’s importation license.

There is no cost to enter and cheesemakers need only pay shipping to get their product to the U.S. consolidation point for shipping to the Isle of Jersey. Entrants will receive further shipping details after the entry form is received.

Thank you and good luck!
