The Wine Communicator of the Year is sponsored by Vinitaly, and is here to recognise an individual or organisation whose communication skills have made an exceptional contribution towards promoting and increasing public awareness in wines, in the last 12 months.
Potential communicators must work in one or more of the following:

- Journalist (specialist press, special feature collections, newspaper, magazine and digest articles)
- Radio, television and film (writing, presenting, producing and directing)
- Online (social media, blogging, website)
- Wine consumer education
Potential communicators will have probably spend many years of their professional life associated with wines - although only their promotional work or special projects from the last year (2016) will be considered for the 2017 trophy.
We will be collecting nominations from people all over the wine industry until the 5th February 2017. Nominees will then be sent a form asking them for more information about themselves, and why they should win. Nominees do not have to provide information, but if they do not, they cannot be considered. A panel of experts in the field will discuss the candidates and decide on a winner.
The winner for this award will be announced at the Vinitaly gala dinner on Saturday 8th April Verona, Italy and will be required to present a tasting on Monday 10th April.
The winners prize includes an expenses paid trip to Vinitaly viand attendance at the International Wine & Spirit Competition Annual Awards Banquet in November.
