The S. Pellegrino Young Chef Award is back for the third year to find the world’s best young chef.
Young chefs from around the world, including Saudi Arabia, are invited to submit an application with their signature dish at sanpellegrino.com, which will serve as the new digital hub of the competition. Applying chefs must be 30 years old or younger and have at least one year of experience working in a restaurant as a chef, sous chef or chef de partie. The submission form and process have been further streamlined to manage the application phase in an effective way. The deadline for submitting entries is April 30.
Luca Antonelli, area manager, Middle East, S. Pellegrino, said: “Saudi Arabia’s hospitality and culinary sector is witnessing exponential growth. There are many young, talented chefs with immense potential and inspiration to make their mark in the industry. It has never been so important to encourage and support the development of young talent and also promote culinary innovation. Through this initiative, S. Pellegrino aims to provide a platform to young chefs to demonstrate both their talent and skills to the industry and get recognized for what sets them apart from their peers. It is time to push their creative boundaries to innovate, prove their expertise and help them stand out in a highly competitive industry.”
The third edition will take place over the course of 18 months, with the final event taking place in Milan in June 2018. The extended duration for this edition will allow candidates more time to work side by side their assigned chef mentors to improve their signature dishes and refine their skills in preparation for the finals. In addition, applications will now be accepted in English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French and Italian.
All qualified applicants will be divided into 21 regions according to their geographic origin. Submissions will then be evaluated by ALMA, the world’s leading international educational and training center for Italian cuisine, which will select the top 10 semifinalists for each geographic region.
