Some call it the “The Oscars of Coffee.” Others claim it’s the original Specialty Coffee award. Around here it’s simply known as… The Sprudgies!
Welcome one and all to the 16th Annual Sprudgie Awards, presented by Pacific Barista Series. An annual tradition here on Sprudge since all the way back in 2009 (!), The Sprudgie Awards has returned to honor leadership and excellence across the world of coffee.
Nominations are now open at the 16th Annual Sprudgie Awards!
Annual coffee industry awards include Notable Roaster, Notable Coffee Producer, Best New Product, Best New Cafe, Outstanding Cafe Sustainability Award, Notable Coffee Event, and Outstanding Achievement. The Sprudgies also include our annual media awards, which honor Best Coffee Video or Film, Best Coffee Writing, Best Coffee Book or Magazine, Best Social Media, and Best Coffee Podcast.
We are proudly partnered with Pacific Barista Series to bring you the 16th Sprudgie Awards, and the entire process is free to enter and open to all. There is no fee to submit a nomination, and no membership required to vote, all thanks to the ongoing community support of Pacific Barista Series, whose bedrock support of this initiative makes our annual work possible.
This year’s nominations process is now open! Following the open nominations process, we’ll whittle down to a final list of finalists, and open that up again to a popular vote. Open nominations close Tuesday, February 18th at 11:59 PM PST. Finalists will be announced shortly thereafter.
