GOURMAND WORLD COOKBOOK AWARDS 2005
– There are over 24.000 different food and wine books published around the world every year. In 2004, over 5.000 books in 40 languages from 60 countries competed in the Gourmand World Cookbook Fair Awards. In 2004, we organized 53 national and regional competitions worldwide. Books compete first in their own language, then the winners compete for Best in The World. In 2005, even more entries are expected.
Winning books get a new „launch“ thanks to the awards, and sell more books. More importantly the winners get international recognition and may obtain international rights deals and be translated.
– The list with winners in the national and regional competitions will start to be made public in December 2005. The list will be posted on www.cookbookfair.com.
