The Scovies may be the most well-known award in the industry. It's common to see products advertising that they have won this prestigious award, often with a badge—sometimes adorning the packaging of the bottle or jar.

They are voted upon by a panel of tasters at the National Fiery Foods show. First, second, and third place awards are given out in a slew of categories, including condiments, barbeque, salsa, hot sauces, rubs/seasonings, wing sauce, and more. To keep things short, these are the 1st place winners in the various "Hot Sauce" sub-categories.
