There are just five days left for you to complete your entry forms for the 2020 Guild of Food Writers Awards for food and drink writing and broadcasting.
The Guild of Food Writers Awards were established in 1996 and are presented in recognition of outstanding achievements in food writing and broadcasting.
There have been some small changes to the categories for 2020 to reflect how the world of food writing has evolved since the awards were established. Most significantly we have added a new Drinks Writing category as we recognise there is a close overlap between this field and food writing.
Full details of the 2020 Awards are available here, where you will also find a link to the online Awards entry form.
