The International Chocolate Awards is pleased to announce the Winners of the 2024 World Final Competition, which was judged in a hybrid way, partly in-person in Milan, Italy and partly remotely at the same time by our international pool of judges with final Grand Jury decisions early November 2024.
The winners were announced by our co-founders Monica Meschini, Maricel Presilla and our Grand Jury members George Gensler, Adrienne Newman, Gilda Sandique and Alex Rast.
The event was broadcasted live on our Facebook page where you can access the recording.
Judges
The judging panel included around fifty of our specially selected professional judges from all over the world, along with many of our IICCT alumni and other specialists and members of our international Grand Jury panel.
All judging was anonymised, included at the Grand Jury final session, where Golds, Silver and Bronze prizes were awarded by private voting according to the Grand Jury rules.
World Wide Watch Parties
The 2024 World Final ceremony was organized as a hybrid event. The main winners’ announcement was led by Martin Christy from Bucharest, Romania on Zoom, with three main live watch parties organized by our local partners.
- Breakfast in New York with Maricel Presilla and SleepWalk Chocolate
- Tea Party in Milan with Monica Meschini and ChocoLove Milano
- Cocktail Party in Bangkok with Pansopin Suppapanit and Jeffrey Lee
We were happy to see many of our entrants also coming together to watch our online ceremony and sharing the joy of winning with their family, their team or even with their new customers who have just entered their shop.
