Automatic Qualifiers
The following events and honors provide their champions with the coveted Golden Ticket that reserves their spot at the World Food Championships, upon successful completion and payment of registration.
Reminder: there are more qualifiers than actual competition spots in Kissimmee. So it’s VERY IMPORTANT to secure your spot after winning one of these qualifiers. Once each category field is full, we will close registration and create a waitlist of competitors. If those waitlisted competitors do not get into the 2015 championship, they will be given the first opportunity to enter the 2016 championship.
