The Guild of Food Writers Awards were established in 1996 and are presented in recognition of outstanding achievements in food writing and broadcasting. The awards remain the only ones that are judged entirely by entrants' peers: professional food writers, journalists and editors.

The closing date for forms to reach the administrator is Tuesday 20 January 2015 and all materials must be with the members of the juries by Friday 30 January 2015.

14 award categories are open for entries, with the winners being announced at the Guild of Food Writers Awards ceremony in early June 2015. Awards include the Cookery Book of the Year Awards, the Derek Cooper Award for Campaigning and Investigative Food Writing, Evelyn Rose Award for Cookery Journalist of the Year, as well as awards for food blog, book, broadcast and magazine of the year.

This year’s award show sponsor is the Scotch Beef PGI (Quality Meat Scotland), as well as award sponsors including Aspall cider, Hillfarm Oils, Superfast Thermapen and Tenderstem.
