of the
competition

image

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.
