CHEESE DETAILS & ADVERTISING MATERIAL

We aim to promote your cheese to the general public, if you enclose small literature with your entries with the relevant entry number(s) clearly marked on the literature, we will do our utmost to place the literature adjacent to the cheese after the judging has been completed.

EXHIBIT PREPARATION

Exhibit labels containing class and exhibit numbers will be forwarded to each competitor. The correct label must be attached to each individual entry and must be clearly visible. The right is reserved for the committee to remove or cover any mark or name indicating who the manufacturer might be, this may extend to removing the exhibit from competition except in classes which specifically permit branded packaging.
