There are 13 different categories ice-cream makers can enter, ranging from the standard vanilla ice cream category to the open creative category, which was won last year by Deep South's Chip and Dip ice cream. The winners will be announced during NZ Ice Cream Week next month, which culminates in Ice Cream Sundae on November 17, which the industry has proclaimed our national ice cream day. The awards and week are run by the NZ Ice Cream Manufacturers' Association, which is also holding its annual conference. Kiwis consume about 26 litres of ice cream and related products per person, on average, each year.
