The entries will be judged at all stages on their innovative qualities as well as taste and commercial viability. In the healthy category, calories will also be taken into consideration.
Once the initial judging is completed, the successful competitors wil be invited to take their place at the regional heats where they will be asked to make up their sandwiches in front of a panel of judges.
At the regional heats, entries will be judged on presentation, commercial viability, innovative use of the sponsor’s product, taste and texture.
