The USA's leading awards celebrating the bread community
About
The story of
The Awards
Launched in the USA in 2018, the Tiptree World Bread Awards with IBIE are the United State’s leading national celebration of the art of bread-baking. Open to all, professional and amateur, old and young.
Regarded as the USA's most prestigious bread awards, they are judged by a stellar panel of judges, including Chair Stephen Hallam, MD of Dickinson & Morris, master baker, John Foster, of Fosters Bakery and BBC2's Victorian Bakers, Andrew Whitley, founder, Real Bread Campaign, stars from the Great British Bake Off, buyers, influencers and more.
The Awards have seized the public and professional imagination. The wide-ranging categories range from Baguette, to Bagel, Sourdough to Savoury Sweet and for those wishing to express their baking creativity we have the Tiptree Showstopper USA.
This year, we are delighted to announce that the judging and Awards reception will be held at the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) in Las Vegas. IBIE is the most significant event in the Western Hemisphere, bringing together all segments of the grain-based foods industry.
Each year it is quite a sight to see when hundreds of loaves are sent in from across the USA on the morning of the Judging Day, arriving by courier, by train, in person and even by plane!
A unique set of awards which not only celebrate the skill of bread-making at its most diverse and inspiring, but also seek to encourage and foster the art of baking both now and for the future generation
