The International Chocolate Awards is pleased to announce the Grand Jury Finalists of the 2025 Colombian Cacao Country Support Competition, which was judged remotely in Colombia in October-November 2025.
The judging panel included our regular Colombian judges, along with many of our IICCT alumni and other specialists from the local area and members of our international Grand Jury panel.
The Grand Jury Finalists are the entries that made it through to the final Grand Jury round, following an initial technical Selection round and a main round of judging. The Finalists are the nominations from which the Grand Jury select the prize winners, through private voting.
While listing as a Grand Jury Finalist is an achievement in itself, it does not necessarily indicate that the entry will receive a prize.
