A Note from

The Editors

Sponsored by the South African Poultry Association's Egg & Broiler Producers and administered by Protactic.

"Galli" is Latin for chicken; "ova" for egg. The Galliova Awards are presented annually to recognise the best food and health/wellness writing in South Africa, with a particular eye for storytelling that treats locally produced poultry as a worthy subject.

Now in its fourth decade, the Awards bring together journalists, writers, food and health content creators, photographers, and social-media influencers across print, online, and social platforms. Judges evaluate originality, voice, visual craft, and useful information — with the meaningful inclusion of South African eggs and chicken always one of the considerations.
