***NOTE: This was a unique year, in that many awards from live events were not issued, as COVID postponed many live Chocolate Salon events where awards would be earned. As such, this year's list is primarily comprised of high-ranking awards from various chocolate category competitions in which shipped submissions are judged.
The award winners below also have the honor and authorization of being able to display the Official Award Winner items , as well as use Custom Award Certificates, award logos, product award stickers, and logo award merchandise.
