Dairy Research Institute New Product Competition
$16,000 in Awards!
Sponsored by the Dairy Research Institute (DRI)  

This year's competition deadline has passed, but please check back for information on the winners and future contest opportunities.   

The dairy industry is always delivering new opportunities through science and technology in developing innovative products and ingredients with a focus on safety, nutrition, and quality.

However, the beverage industry is huge - with an estimated $37 billion in sales!  For milk to be a leader in this competitive arena, we need to be on the forefront of product innovation and cater to consumer needs.

That’s why the Dairy Research Institute, through the funding and support of America’s dairy farmers and importers, is providing a platform for students to bring their knowledge and expertise to dairy beverage innovation.

This is your chance to impact the dairy industry!  The Dairy Research Institute New Product Competition will recognize three outstanding student teams who develop a cutting-edge dairy beverage that meets the changing needs of the consumer market place with a good tasting, healthy and affordable product.
