Nominations for the Best Concept awards program are now being accepted. Food Management has sponsored the program since 1998 with the goal of recognizing and celebrating the best practices and the most innovative thinking in onsite foodservice. Each year, our editors evaluate nominations, judging them on a variety of factors ranging from their creativity to their impact on a given program and their effectiveness in achieving targeted results. The winners will be highlighted in the July issue.

Nominations must be for a program or operation at a noncommercial or onsite operation (no commercial restaurants are eligible). Nominations can come from any source, including other operators, members of a foodservice department, manufacturers, consultants or administrators at an institution. The deadline for the 2018 competition is April 15, 2019.
