Hey, cookiers! I wanted to alert you to a great awards program that I am judging, and for which some of you may be eligible, which is now open for nominations! Celebrating those who inspire and shape our work helps strengthen the collective cookie community, so I encourage you to take part if you can*!
I'll also have the distinct pleasure of announcing the award winners, along with the lovelies pictured above. Anywho, the awards program is the Australasian Cake Oscar Awards, hosted by the Australian Cake Artists & Decorators Association (ACADA), which takes place in April at the International Cake Show Australia (ICSA). Despite having only "cake" and not "cookie" in its name, this program has four awards categories for cookiers all shown in the image below, all of which are now open for nominations here! (Just scroll down the page that opens, and click on "Nominate Now" under each awards photo. Then fill in the brief nomination form.)
*Please note that, to nominate in the cookie categories, you and your nominee must reside permanently within Australia, New Zealand or Papua New Guinea. And you are only allowed to submit one nomination per award category. Any duplicate nominations will be deleted.
However, there is a special category (Global Sugar Hero of the Year) where nominees can reside anywhere in the world. To cast your choice for that person who most inspires sugar artists (either cakers or cookiers) across the globe, please click here.
If you're eligible to nominate (remember: you must reside in Australia, New Zealand, or Papua New Guinea to nominate in all categories), don't delay in casting your votes. Nominations close on January 12, 2024. Again, I'm a firm believer that focusing the spotlight on others we love, respect, and admire isn't just kind; it strengthens us all!
