Olivonomy Paris Awards
Competition Rules
Last update on: 24th January 2022
The Olivonomy Paris Awards aim, in a spirit of transparency and universal cooperation, to bring together all independent olive oil producers, brands, distributors, traders and bottlers worldwide (hereinafter collectively or individually referred to as the ‘Participants’) in order to reveal and showcase their excellence, through multiple competitions series: tasting, branding, oleotourism and impact. The aim is to promote the development of these olive oils and to celebrate them internationally with the widest possible media coverage, while taking into account the peculiarities of each of the two hemispheres (Northern and Southern) to highlight terroirs and specificities.
Participants enter the Olivonomy Paris Awards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Competition’) by duly registering one or more entries (hereinafter referred to collectively or individually as the ‘Entries’ or ‘Entry’), i.e. by completing the payment (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Entry Fee’) and registration process on the website app.olivonomy.com (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Site’). By doing so, Participants expressly and unconditionally accept the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the General Terms and Conditions of Use, the operating conditions of the Site and these Rules.
The Entries must correspond to one of the categories limited by the Site and can only be :
• a) olive oil-related companies, producers or brands,
• b) olive oil products or products with olive oil produced in commercial quantities, even if minimal but sufficient. The product-related Entries must be presented in their bottling and with their commercial label and must be sealed with a capsule according to the regulations in force in their respective States of production (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Samples’). The labelling of product-related Entries produced in EU Member States must comply with Community regulations and for third countries, with the regulations in force in their respective countries of production.
Temporary labels may, exceptionally, be accepted as valid pre-production versions (hereinafter ‘Special Entries’) by the Presidency of Hove, the organising company of the Competition, and compete in the same way as the Entries if, on the one hand, they comply with all the legal rules of their States of production and, on the other hand, are the subject of a declaration of conformity with the final product by the producer. These Special Entries are subject to special pricing, indicated on the order page of the Site.
For the tasting competition, the Entries must not contain any illegal additives or any other illegal components. The Participants undertake to do so by making a declaration on their honour when registering on the Site.
Once all the payment and registration procedures and operations provided for in Article 2 have been finalised, the Entries are only really admitted to the Competition once the Samples have been received in sufficient numbers as provided in the registration process.
Entries must be sent shipping paid (postage, customs and taxes to be paid by the Participant), accompanied by a pro forma invoice following instructions provided by Olivonomy Paris Awards. Any Sample sent shipping due (whether postage, customs or taxes) will be refused.
The Samples remain the property of the Participants who entered them until they are tasted or analysed from the point of view of their design by the judges. After this stage, the Olivonomy Paris Awards becomes the owner of the samples. Samples that are received late, that have not been properly or previously registered, or that do not correspond to the entry, will not be entered in the Competition or returned and will remain the property of Olivonomy Paris Awards. Samples that have been altered during shipping will not be presented at the Competition or returned and will be destroyed by the organisation.
In order to ensure healthy transparency, for the tasting competition, all Entries can be analysed by an independent, ISO certified laboratory. Entries that have been placed in a category that does not correspond to the results of the analyses will automatically be moved to the relevant category, without any appeal or complaint from the Participants.
Under no circumstances will refunds or credits of Entry Fees be made, including (but not limited to) in the event of disqualification or withdrawal of an Entry, loss, destruction or damage to submitted Samples, late receipt of Samples after the closing of the deadline for receipt, and theft, loss, delay or damage to the delivery of the coded vials (as defined in Article 11 below) to the members of the Competition jury (hereinafter the ‘Jury’).
An attendant appointed by the Presidency of Hove, the organising company of the Competition, for the tasting part, is the only person entitled to open and handle the Samples after they have been opened. The attendant classifies them, codes them and sends them, in certified new vials, (hereinafter the ‘Coded Vials’) to the members of the Jury which have been determined according to their skills but also in order to ensure a balanced geographical distribution worldwide. The members of the Jury taste them blind according to the ethical principles of their practices and under the conditions defined by the quality charter presented by the Olivonomy Paris Awards.
The members of the Jury may not, at any time and in any form, assign, delegate or transfer to any other person or entity, all or part of their obligations resulting from the Olivonomy Paris Awards procedures. The attendant is the only one who chooses the Coded Vials to be sent to the Jury.
For each Entry of the tasting competition, the electronic sheets (scorecards) validated by the members of the Jury are processed into detailed visual graphs, which are then combined to give an overall picture of the aromatic and textural profile of the concerned Entry (hereinafter collectively or individually referred to as ‘Sensorial Graphical Display’ or ‘SGD’). Participants will be provided with a Sensorial Graphical Display for each of the registered Entries, unless the judges are unable to define sufficient organoleptic characteristics. The Participants whose Entries are awarded give their full consent for the representation by Olivonomy and/or Hove, the organising company, of the related Sensorial Graphical Display contents on any support decided by them.
The awards granted by the Competition will only apply to the awarded Entries, within the strict limit of the commercial volumes corresponding to the batch and/or the year identifying them at the time of registration on the Site. The decisions of the Jury are final. Participants are not required to be in attendance. Members of the Jury are not affiliated with Olivonomy Paris Awards and are comprised of independent industry-recognized experts in their particular discipline.
Participants whose Entries are awarded are notified by email and a certificate specifying the nature of the award and the exact identification of the Participant and the awarded Entry is sent by official letter signed by the Presidency of Hove, the organising company of the Competition. The email also includes a downloadable media pack ready for social media use, as well as the medal files for digital use. Official stickers and medals can also be ordered by e-mail, according to the terms and conditions defined in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
Any unforeseeable event beyond the control of the Olivonomy Paris Awards and its Organising Company (including but not limited to epidemic, fire, flood, natural disaster, strike, terrorist act, etc.) shall be considered as force majeure. If such an event prevents the Competition from running smoothly (including but not limited to cancellation or modification of the dates, conditions or terms of the Competition), neither the Olivonomy Paris Awards nor Hove, the organising company shall be held responsible and no compensation shall be claimed by the Participants.
Participation in the Competition implies acceptance of these Rules. The Presidency of Hove, the organising company of the Competition, has the sole authority to interpret these rules on behalf of Olivonomy Paris Awards and, in order to settle any dispute arising from their application, to decide on all cases not provided for in the rules. In the event of any dispute arising in connection with the Competition, the courts of Paris shall have exclusive jurisdiction and French law shall be exclusively applicable.
