competition
By placing the chef’s soul at the heart of the competition, the ArsNova International Culinary Prize is designed to encourage a signature cuisine that promotes the flagship product for the chosen annual theme, through Chefs who draw on tradition whilst also delivering their own interpretations in a personal, contemporary world of creativity.
Covering nine countries, the Prize takes place in two stages: national selections followed by an international final.
The theme for 2025 is the female duck.
The Culinary Prize is a means of passing on traditional skills that conveys the spirit of today’s sparkling signature cuisine and reveals the talent of the great chefs of tomorrow.
