To gain this prestigious recognition, competition organisers must submit applications for approval and fulfil requirements according to the Culinary Competitions Rules minimum standards.

Anyone that gets the opportunity to take part in a competition endorsed by WORLDCHEFS will feel privileged to be a part of the global voice on cooking.

A Committee, representing all WORLDCHEFS Continents, meets regularly on an ongoing basis to develop universal guidelines and criteria that can be easily understood and practically implemented to achieve a consistent global standard. It is vitally important that all culinary competitions follow and use these rules to ensure these standards are maintained.
