South America did well at the Sol d’Oro Southern Hemisphere 2015 win­ning the three Golden Medals, but South Africa – which hosted the sec­ond edi­tion of the com­pe­ti­tion orga­nized by Veronafiere – achieved the great­est num­ber of awards over­all.

The host coun­try achieved 5 out of 9 Medals and 9 out of 12 Grand Mentions, accord­ing to a press release. The total num­ber of entries was not spec­i­fied.

According to the jury, the gen­eral qual­ity of the sam­ples was good, in spite of a dif­fi­cult year due to pro­longed drought.

The award cer­e­mony took place on the 10th September at the cul­tural cen­ter Casa Labia in Cape Town.
