01Beginnings
The European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) introduced a Hemp Product of the Year award, its first, to recognise new uses and markets for industrial hemp.1
HempConsult GmbH, based in Dusseldorf, sponsored it.12 The sources do not say when EIHA was founded.
02The story
The award was tied to the association's conference on 12-13 June 2018.1 A second report places that conference in Cologne and calls it EIHA's 15th annual conference, with this award as the inaugural one.2
Entries had a deadline at the end of March.1 A jury drawn from EIHA advisory board members, people from nova-Institute and conference sponsors picked the nominees.1
Here the two articles differ on the count. One says six entries were nominated.1 The other lists nine nominees in three categories.2 The sources do not explain the gap.
03Culture
Nominees presented to the conference delegates, who voted.12 The second article says the presentations ran 10 minutes each on 12 June, with winners announced that evening.2 The first article describes the winner being announced at the end of the conference.1
The nine nominees spanned three groups. Textiles and biocomposites: Konoplex Ltd (Russia), Moellerup Brands A/S (Denmark) and Van.Eko BV (Netherlands). Cosmetics: Annabis s.r.o. (Czech Republic), Canah International SRL (Romania) and Moellerup Brands A/S. Foods: Baltic NFS Ltd (Latvia), Hanf-Zeit (Germany) and Moellerup Brands A/S.2
Moellerup Brands A/S appears in all three lists.2
04Now
