Royal Academy of Culinary Arts opens entries to Awards for Excellence

Written by: Edward Waddell
Applicants to The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts must be working full-time in the UK as a chef, pastry chef or waiter as well as being under the age of 26 when entries close on 31st January 2023.

The annual Awards for Excellence is an examination rather than a competition so all or none of the candidates can achieve the Award depending on their ability to meet the standard of excellence set by the judges.

A spokesperson said: “The AAE is the most prestigious award available to young professionals in the hospitality industry today, recognising and encouraging the most talented ambitious chefs, pastry chefs and waiters. Since it began in 1983 over 650 young professionals have won the Award, providing opportunities for a successful career path.”  

The winning candidate who scores the highest marks in each section will be named the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Young Chef, Young Pastry Chef and Young Waiter of the Year 2023.
