Hall of Fame
The EPIC Hall of Fame honours the people from within the industry.The EPIC Hall of Fame was introduced in 2023 to honour the people from within the industry who have made outstanding contributions over many many years and are rightly considered and honoured as pioneers of the Poultry Industry.
Inductees are initially drawn from the Poultry Person of the Year Award winners, the highest award given to members of the industry, but not excluding other worthy inductees. The EPIC committee carefully considers many factors in deciding and agreeing on nominations going forward.
Following the introduction in 2023 the EPIC committee will continue to induct worthy recipients into the EPIC Hall of Fame. As well as considering other nominations from within the industry. The recipient of the EPIC lifetime achievement award given approximately every 3 years or so will automatically be added to the EPIC Hall of Fame.
Nominations
Nominations for potential inclusion are most welcome but should be accompanied by a resume of the person’s work and achievements over a lifetime of service. Please include details on why they are worthy of consideration.
