We launched this program to support small makers and to celebrate bold and audacious entrepreneurs spotlighting products that embody innovation, quality, and local pride.
We were blown away by the response:
Over 200 cross category submissions
65 brands made it into sampling
12 finalists participated in a live pitch with an esteemed panel of judges
and now, we’re thrilled to announce our 2024 Sunset Innovators Winners!
