CMA Winner Announcements 2020: Schedule of Events

Tuesday, 8 September, 2020

We are thrilled to be able to publish the dates, times and the format for this years highly anticipated Coffee Magazine Awards 2020 - in association with Alpro,  BWT,  Red Espresso,  Moreflavour and  FNB!

See all the Nominees here.

Usually we celebrate these awards at Creative Coffee Week's Gala Dinner, but with COVID-19 not allowing this to happen in 2020, we have gone online and will be hosting the CMA's in a virtual series of broadcasts. 

The platform we have chosen is Instagram "live" a video format that allows people to tune into our broadcast and watch the announcements live! We will also be giving away some spot prizes to the audience, so make sure you tune in and follow the prompts to win! 

1. Make sure you have an Instagram account.
2. Follow @thecoffeemag 
3. When we “go live” at 12pm, there will be a little circle on the top of your screen where the “Stories” are 
4. Tap the circle that has @thecoffeemag “live” on it
5. You will then start watching the live broadcast  
6. Comment on the proceedings to support your favourite nominee!
7. Instagram "live' is strictly 1 hour per broadcast, so check the schedule below.
