The Back Story

In the spirit of democracy, last year we launched our Best Drinking Chocolate Award – as voted by Britain’s chocolate lovers. It proved a huge success. Hundreds of you voted and eventually Mortimer Chocolate Company was crowned the nation’s winner.

This year, we’ve decided to launch a series of Britain’s Best Awards. Over the coming months, we’ll be asking you to nominate your favourite brands and products across all sorts of chocolate categories, everything from The Best Dark Bar to Best Filled Chocolates. Stay tuned…

Help us find the ultimate Mother’s Day chocolate gift!

So what do you give the woman who gave you life?  We are on a hunt to find out which shop or chocolate brand offers the best Mother’s Day gift, and who better to ask than you, our festival visitors?

Voting is really simple. There are three ways you can nominate your product of choice (make sure to let us know which brand made it too!):

1. Leave a comment at the bottom of this page

2. Tweet about it and CC us @TheChocFestival (#BestMothersGift)

3. Leave a comment on our Facebook page The Chocolate Festival

One of you will win a chocolate gift from one of the nominated brands. All you have to do is get nominating! And since we know there is more than just one great brand – you can nominate up to three brands and triple your chances of winning! (The winner will be chosen at random out of all the entries).

How did this come about?

Last year we launched Britain’s Best Drinking Chocolate Award where we asked you to nominate your favourite brand.

Hundreds of you voted and eventually Mortimer Chocolate Company was nominated as your ultimate winner.

It was so popular that we decided to do the same with Mother’s Day gifts!

The award winner

The winner of Britain’s Best Mother’s Day gift will be announced during The Chocolate Festival this March.

P.S. If you are a brand

If you produce and sell your own Mother’s Day gift and think it should win – why not ask your followers to nominate and vote for you? Some of our favourite brands are already scoring high by doing just that!

Voting for this award will close on 18th March 2012.

Following the announcement that Mortimer Chocolate Company is your winner of Britain’s Best Drinking Chocolate Award 2011, we have randomly chosen Gar y Millard – one of the voters – to receive a year’s supply of drinking chocolate, courtesy of the winning brand. Gary emailed us as soon as he received the prize and said:

‘I know it’s said often, but Christmas actually did come early in our house this weekend with a tasty delivery of drinking chocolate and goodies from Mortimer Chocolate Company! We all celebrated with a festive hot chocolate (I added a bit of seasonal spice) and then the children got stuck in to some sliced pears dipped in gooey ‘Melt & Dip’ for pudding! Big thanks to The Chocolate Festival and of course Mortimer Chocolate Company for the early seasonal cheer!’

Thank you Gary, we hope you enjoy many more of hot chocolate cups this Christmas and in the New Year!
