For over three centuries, Fortnum & Mason has been passionate about seeking out and championing the very best producers in the country. We want to acknowledge those in the industry who share our commitment to inspiring people to enjoy, explore, experiment, and discover more about food and drink, through their writing, photography, and commentary.

With entries accepted from today until 31 January 2019, Fortnum’s is calling on the very best talent to enter. There are 13 categories and an independent panel of professional judges, led by Ewan Venters, CEO of Fortnum & Mason, selects the winners from work published or broadcast during 2018 in the UK or Republic of Ireland.

There is also an award for the Personality of the Year, voted for by the public.

“It’s been an amazing seven years since we launched the Awards and their early success is testament to our passion for great food and drink. We’ve already recognised some outstanding winners and we can’t wait to see what the 2019 Awards bring us. Our thanks go to our expert judges for giving their time and experience to champion the greatest skills in the country. And our best wishes go to everyone who enters.” Ewan Venters
