When the Awards are open, click on Apply Now on the Global Culinary Travel Awards page or our website. Please read the additional instructions below:
Make sure that your business is in an eligible category.
Make sure that your business meets the application requirements.
The Global Culinary Travel Awards are open to both members and non-members of the Association.
Applications must be submitted in English so that anyone involved in the processing of your application can read it (staff, judges, etc.). You can include supporting content in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. If needed, please ask someone to help you prepare your application in English. Important documents should be accompanied by an English language translation (it does not need to be from a certified translator).
All entries must be submitted through our system as an application.
Each application must be assigned at least one category and the applicable entry fee must be paid.
Please be prepared to upload supporting documents as you work on your application online. Acceptable formats include: JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, PDF, PPT, PPTX, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX
For audio or video content, you cannot upload these files with your application. Therefore you will need to provide URLs to websites where the video is hosted (such as YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, or your own website). If a password is required, please provide it in the section titled "Is there anything else you would like to share?" Note that invalid links that change after submission, or media files that fail to stream under normal conditions cannot be evaluated as part of your application and in such situations, the strength of your application may suffer as a result.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that all links to specific submitted pages continue to work and that media is uploaded and streaming properly during the judging period.
Requirements to download proprietary software, install uncommon drivers, pay for third-party applications, or access to pay-for-streaming providers will not be honored and the strength of your application may suffer as a result.
Failure to follow any of these instructions may disqualify your entry.
