VOTER AWARD

The EDGY VEG AWARDS are a celebration of local food innovation, mouthwatering regional flavours, and sharing meals that give back to the planet.

Organised by Veg Action of the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group, the Awards are designed to support local cafes and pubs to create new and exciting plant-based dishes to showcase just how fabulous eating more veg, more often can be!

Cafes are asked to nominate one or more plant-based dishes to be showcased during the Autumn Festival (1st-30th April 2023). New and existing customers of all dietary persuasion are encouraged to try the dish(es) and score them. Votes go in the draw to win a prize.
