It’s time for the Netherlands to truly set the standard as a sustainable and high-quality manufacturing nation. With the Locally Made Awards, we give the local manufacturing industry an extra large, annual platform.
The best products from Dutch soil deserve the recognition they’ve earned. Which product is the most innovative, creative or sustainable and deserves an award? Will it be a circular garment, a design object made from recycled materials, or perhaps a skincare product with a truly unique ingredient?
For the first edition of the Locally Made Awards, fifty makers from the Netherlands will be selected who best represent what the Dutch manufacturing industry stands for. The most important criteria are sustainability, design, creativity and craftsmanship.
Awards can be won in five categories:
- Living & Interior – The most beautiful product for the home: design, lighting, textiles and home accessories from Dutch soil.
- Food & Drink – The most delicious product from the Netherlands. From craft beer to fermentation heroes and circular snacks.
- Fashion & Jewellery – The most stylish product from the Netherlands. Striking clothing, accessories and jewellery, responsibly produced.
- Personal Care – The best personal care product from the Netherlands. Effective and with natural ingredients.
- Special: Alcohol-Free – Each year we put one extra product group in the spotlight. This year: alcohol-free drinks.
A panel of judges – consisting of well-known experts in design, food, fashion and sustainability – determines the winners per category. The winners will be announced at a celebratory award show open to makers, brands, media and partners.
The Locally Made Awards will be an annual event bringing together makers, brands and the public: a platform for pride, quality and innovation. Sign up for our newsletter and stay up to date!
