The Results Are In! Here are the Winners of the 2020 Veggie Awards

You voted, we listened. This year, more than 2.6 million votes were cast to crown the absolute best vegan products, people, and places in the 20th annual Veggie Awards. And with big-name brands, cutting-edge restaurants, and real-life vegan superheroes (Joaquin, we’re looking at you) all battling it out for the top spot, one thing has become clear: it’s never been a better time to be vegan. We present you with the winners of the 2020 VegNews Veggie Awards!
