For the first time, there are three additional awards on top of the title of ‘S.Pellegrino Young Chef’. The four awards are:

  • S.Pellegrino Award for Social Responsibility: Voted for by an internationally recognised voice on Sustainability in food – this dish will represent the principle that food is best when it’s the result of socially responsible practices.
  • Acqua Panna Award for Connection in Gastronomy: Voted for by mentors who represent 50 countries around the world – the winning dish will be the one that reflects a connection between different cultures on the plate, celebrating a global approach to gastronomy.
  • S.Pellegrino Young Chef Award: Voted for by the esteemed panel of Seven Sages – this winning chef must demonstrate unrivalled technical skills as well as genuine creativity.

The award winners will be presented with the extraordinary opportunity to gain global visibility and a significant professional prestige.
