Submissions for the 2023 Awards Season is Now Closed

The IACP’s awards are among the most prestigious and coveted in the food industry. We have worked hard to make them the most transparent, diverse, and meaningful food awards, using an Awards Advisory board, committee chairman, and a very respected group of judges, all of whom remain anonymous. Recipes are meticulously tested, a panel of judges add their scores and reviews independently and anonymously, and no one affiliated with IACP board, staff, or judges can enter or vote. Award sections include the IACP Cookbook Awards, the IACP Digital Media Awards, the IACP Food Photography & Styling Awards, and the IACP Food Writing Awards.
