Having already sifted through a long list of producers and narrowed it down to the top 100, the final 10 will face the Dragons' Den-style crack team of judges to make a three-minute pitch. A floor panel made up of bloggers, producers and journalists will be watching. Judges include Justin Howard-Sneyd MW of Direct Wines; Joan Torrents of Mitchells & Butlers and Waitrose's Andrew Shaw.
