Initial Qualifiers Announced!

The World Food Championships is pleased to announce the initial round of qualifiers to the 2015 event in Kissimmee, FL. As always, in order to compete at the Ultimate Food Fight, you must first win your way there and the following events will lead you to that coveted Golden Ticket.

Stay tuned! The qualifier list will continue to grow over the coming weeks and months as we discover exciting new events, unveil new Super Regionals and Super Qualifier partners, and ultimately announce the new ninth category.

Reminder: if you placed in the Top 10 of your category in 2014 – CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve already earned your spot and will receive your link to register once registration kicks off at the beginning of March.

And now, without further adieu – let’s get to the qualifiers!

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.
