On Saturday, April 9, 2022, the Food Influencers Awards will launch its First Edition at the enchanting Domaine de Barbossi, Riviera Golf, organized by Stylezza magazine. This event brings together the culinary community from all over France and Monaco, and has plans to extend to the world.

Due to the growth and influence of the digital world, the culinary field is a real source of inspiration and connection, but it is true that also requires a level of presence. Beginners as well as consecrated participants will gather together for a purely gastronomic and influential competition.

Popular Prize and Jury Prize

Food Influencers Awards consists of two parts: online and offline, with two different prizes: One, the Popularity Prize with the Votes / Likes of supporters, and the Jury Prize with a practical test, where influencers must guess the ingredients used by the Starred Top Chef, Jean-François Berard, and make an interesting and attractive live and photographic presentation. All happening under the five senses of gastronomic masters.
