LA Judge Award 2023
Save the date! Australasia’s most prestigious annual baking prize is returning better than ever in 2023. We would love you to join us to help celebrate our wonderful young baking apprentices and see who is honoured with the coveted LA Judge Award.
Since 1967, Australasia’s most prestigious annual baking prize has recognised the best young baking apprentice in Australia and New Zealand.
Each year, apprentice bakers compete for the honour of the LA Judge title. The LA Judge Award recognises their baking ability and industry knowledge to identify future industry leaders. There are many examples of past competitors and winners who have gone on to make their mark in the baking industry.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a head start in the Australian baking industry. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by nominating as a candidate for the LA Judge Award! To find out more, talk to your state baking association or call AEGIC on (02) 8025 3200.
