During the contest, chefs will showcase their vegan culinary skills. Their plates must exclude animal proteins while creatively combining key vegan ingredients.

Especially those interested in expanding and showcasing their expertise and knowledge of Vegan Cuisine.

Hoping to win the Hans Bueschkens Trophy, competitors must meet the highest standards by impressing the judges with their knowledge, skills and versatility. Indeed, their creations must not only be appetizing and flavorful but also exhibit exemplary plating for efficient service.
