Just because there is a pandemic going on does not mean that there is nothing fantastic happening in our industry. Quite the opposite. We have noticed real acts of innovation and creativity. For 2021, we are introducing 4 special categories that suit the times: “Best Virtual Food or Beverage Experience”, “Best “Hustle” Award”, “Best Culinary Destination Showcase” and “Best Culinary Storyteller”. If you think one of these might be you, we encourage you to apply! The application fee has been kept at only €29 per category to allow more people to be able to apply. Applications are now open and close on May 30.

Businesses and professionals of all types and destinations of all sizes are welcome to enter!

Founded in 2016, our awards program was our industry’s first and is today our industry’s largest, program that recognizes excellence and innovation in food and beverage tourism. All entries are fairly judged by a confidential panel of international industry experts. Judges review each entry based on the criteria provided for that category. Their votes are compiled to create a short list of winner candidates. The judges then deliberate the final winners. First-place and runner-up winners are selected in each category.
