How to Enter

Before entering, we recommend you download the Entrants Toolkit which provides all relevant resources to help you enter this year's competition but also explains how this award platform works.

It may even be a good idea to print it off so you can reference it if needed while working on your entry.

Nominating Chefs

If you're a NACC Member, you can nominate chefs into the 2025 competition. 

If you have an Individual or Retired Membership, you are permitted to one (1) nomination. 

If you have a Group Membership, you are permitted to four (4) nominations. 

Entry Fee

For non-members an entry fee of £80+VAT applies which includes one year’s membership to the NACC.

Members entering, you'll be provided a Members Code via email communications to input upon checkout that will waiver the entry fee.

If you have not received your Members Code, please get in touch with events@thenacc.co.uk to obtain this.

Entries are now closed.

Paper judging has commenced and semi-finalists will be announced Mid-May.
