About GFW Awards

The Guild of Food Writers Awards were established in 1996, to be presented annually in recognition of outstanding achievement in any area in which food writers work and have influence. The awards remain the only awards judged entirely by professional food writers, journalists and editors.

This year, in addition to the existing eleven awards, we have added an Award for Work on Food and Travel in memory of Guild member Kate Whiteman who died tragically in a road accident in Argentina in January 2009. The full list of categories is:
