Fee / Cost

Nomination Plans & Winner Packages

Clear, simple pricing for entering the awards and for celebrating your win.

How Pricing Works

Fee & Costs

There are two distinct fees in your participation journey. You only ever consider the second one if your restaurant is confirmed as a winner.

⚖️

Paying a fee never guarantees winning. Winners are chosen on merit by an independent jury. No payment, plan or package can influence the result.
