Tiptree World Bread Awards Heroes USA with IBIE

The story of Bread Heroes

Rising Together

2020 is a year that will go down in history. No one could have foreseen what challenging, difficult and tumultuous years lay ahead.

At the Tiptree World Bread Awards USA with IBIE, we were looking forward to celebrating the best of the USA’s bakers in our usual way but clearly, that was something that could not take place.

As the pandemic unfolded, more and more stories started to emerge in the press of bakers’ remarkable acts of support and generosity to the community, all across the United States. 

It was a source of great support and comfort that our sponsors immediately embraced the idea that the Awards should celebrate the people behind the loaf.

Nominations flooded in from every corner. The stories were by turn moving, inspiring, astonishing and humbling.
