As dates and locations for some competitions are still being confirmed, please check our site regularly to make sure you don&#8217;t miss your regional competition. The judging will be partly in-person and partly remote, with samples sent to judges at home. Please refer to the individual competition announcements for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following our founding principle of transparency and focus on fine cacao, we relaunched all of our filled chocolate competitions as <em>\u201cCraft Chocolatier Competitions\u201d<\/em> in 2021-22.<em> <\/em>We want to&nbsp;celebrate and champion the chocolate makers and companies using cacao with an identifiable and traceable source.
