BBC YOUNG CHEF OF THE YEAR COMPETITION

 

BBC Young Chef of the Year is a nationwide search to find most talented 16-25 year old from each trade – someone at the top of their game, a true ambassador and a role model to their peers.

 

The search is on to find young chefs to take part in this new exciting show.

PROGRAMME DETAILS

From now until the middle of April – although our application deadline is March 15th , we'll be inviting applicants to attend a series of interviews and practical challenges around the UK where we will select 6 to go through to our studio final. Each trade will have its own 60 minute show.

The studio final will be filmed over one day and involve 5 challenges. After each round, one finalist will be eliminated by our expert judges (from each trade) - 5 become 4, then 3, down to 2, until we have our overall winner.

The series will have a 'big show' feel, be entertaining but skewed towards learning and celebrating unsung heroes from a modern British workforce.

 

TALENT CASTING

This will involve completing an application form - to get one please email youngtalent@bbc.co.uk , call 03700 101 616*, or write to Young Talent Casting Team, Room 3136, BBC Television Centre, London W12 7RJ.

The deadline for completed applications is the 15th March and successful applicants will be invited to an interview followed by an audition. If they are one of the lucky few to go through to the next stage they will then be required for roughly 4 days in total.

They will be tested by the industry’s leading experts to ensure they have the skills and personality needed to earn the title. Ultimately we want to praise the young, hard working individuals that don’t get the recognition they deserve.  

With this in mind, it would be fantastic to let as many young skilled individuals know about this great opportunity.

If you wish to express interest in helping or would like more information including specific dates, please get in touch.
