A prestigious worldwide competition that will challenge your creativity with chocolate!
Whether you are a chocolatier or a pastry chef, you have a unique opportunity for your skills and talents to become internationally recognized. How? By participating in the “World Chocolate Masters”, a prestigious international competition where your skills and creativity with chocolate are crucial.
The “Fifth Edition of the World Chocolate Masters”
From October 28th to October 30th, 2013, the three leading
Gourmet brands for high-quality chocolate, Callebaut, Cacao Barry
and Carma, will organize the final competition in which

asked to create the following, based on the “Architecture of Taste”
theme:
-Chocolate Showpiece
-Dipped Praline
-Chocolate Layered Cake
-Gastronomic Chocolate Dessert
-Moulded Praline
-Creation of the Architect of the World
A professional jury will judge the creations, taking account of presentation, taste and technical skills.
Theme: The Architecture of Taste
Definition of the theme:
Taste is harmony and contrast. It is sweet and sour. Taste is loving what you know, and curiosity for what you don’t know yet. Taste is colour and texture. It is emotion and it is sophisticated. And at the same time, taste is a perception that differs from one person to another.
Awards
An attractive prize package, determined by the organizers will
be awarded to the top 3 winners.
Details of the prize package will be provided at a later
stage.
Separate trophies will be given for the following Best
categories:
-Best Chocolate Layered Cake
-Best Moulded Praline
-Best Dipped Praline
-Best Chocolate dessert
-Best Chocolate Showpiece
-Best “Creation of the Architect of the World”
The winner of the official title of World Chocolate Master can only win one of these Best Category awards (the one in which he/she gets the highest score). If he/she wins another Best Category award, the prize will immediately move to the second place contestant in the category.
The international press will also award its best contestant, based on the showpiece and the moulded and dipped pralines all together.
What’s in it for the contestants?
All contestants will not only enjoy an unforgettable experience, but also gain recognition from the leading craftsmen in the world of chocolate. In addition, contestants can expect to get international media coverage from both consumer media and the trade press.
