More than 750 of these unique products have been placed on our shelves and nearly $1.5 million in prize money has been awarded along with marketing, mentoring and supplemental support. 

After the Call for Entries period is complete, H-E-B’s Business Development Managers will select the top applicants who will present their products before a panel of judges selected by H-E-B on August 24 at Fair Park in Dallas. The panel of judges will determine the top four winning products and award $25,000 to the Grand Prize winner, the title of “Texas Best”, and placement on store shelves; $20,000 to the first-place winner; $15,000 to the second-place winner; and $10,000 to the third-place winner. 

Interested suppliers and manufacturers can submit details about their products at heb.com/quest by April 7 for consideration.
