We’ve opened boxes, checked in products, organized categories, prepared food, tasted beverages, read nomination forms and eaten gummies until our teeth were rainbow-hued—and then we did it all again. With 19 product categories, 850 nominations and more than 30 judges evaluating each and every NEXTY-nominated product over a (very full) two days of preliminary judging, this year’s NEXTY Awards competition once again demonstrated that chaos and magic can co-exist.
Organizing, judging and carrying out the NEXTY Awards can be a Herculean feat, but it’s more than worth it. We are delighted to say that this year’s Natural Products Expo West NEXTY Awards may be the finest edition yet. Of course, the true merit is in the countless innovative, inspiring and strongly mission-based brands that nominated products this year.
Choosing the finalists out of so many phenomenal products is no easy task, but now that it’s done, the only thing we love more than making the NEXTYS come to life is sharing these fabulous finalist brands and products with the natural products community. The 100 product finalists featured here stand out for their innovation, inspiration and integrity.
From here, a panel of expert guest judges will join the New Hope team to further review these finalists and choose the winners, which will be announced on the Expo West Virtual Platform on March 1.
