The judges were journalist Clayton Morar; Kia Johnson of Dagbreek TV and 2000FM and Naushad Khan, editor of Next 48 Hours and 48 Hours TV.

Says Kia Johnson: “It was clear that some of the exhibitors had put a huge amount of thought and effort into their stands. I particularly liked Lady Bonin’s Tea Parlour, a small stand, which was hugely appealing thanks to its welcoming design and the owner’s clear passion which shone through.”

Naushad Khan had one word for the Domestos stand in which visitors got to eat food off the floor, proving that it was not only clean but germ free: “It is a simply brilliant concept.”
