You can nominate anyone working in the Northland hospitality industry, however you cannot nominate colleagues or fellow employees, or the establishment you work for.
Please NB: Employers/Managers can nominate their employees in the Emerging Chef category. You will be asked to provide information relating to this person and their role within your establishment on the nomination form.
To keep it fair, each establishment can only submit five nomination forms per business, any forms received over and above this will be disregarded.
