Previously, the Swiss winners were chosen at a single event and sent directly to the grand European final. Starting in 2026, regional pre-finals will also be held to include the whole of Switzerland and discover local talent.
The winners of the Swiss Championships will have the opportunity to compete in the grand European final against representatives from over 15 other European countries!
The best of French-speaking Switzerland
The awards have been presented annually since 2021 – «Best of Switzerland», «Jury's Favorite» and «People's Choice» Award.
In the pre-finals, the same regional awards are presented, but in the form of cooking spoons, which then also serve as a ticket to the grand Swiss final! The Swiss Street Food Awards are part of the European Street Food Awards.
Honor where honor is due – in the Hall of Fame all former winners are immortalized.

Jury:
