Camberwell Culinary Awards

Our hero campaign for winter each year highlights our food businesses, especially as customers opt for indoor dining during the cooler months. After launching the Camberwell Culinary Awards last year, the campaign will return this winter to further drive awareness of our food and dining businesses and reinforce the awards as an annual event.

The Camberwell Culinary Awards celebrates the finest cuisine in Camberwell Junction by giving people the chance to vote for their favourite meal or beverage.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Members of the public can vote for their favourite meal or beverage across a range of categories including best coffee, best brunch, best sweet treat, best drinking spot, best casual dining, best fine dining, best takeaway, and best healthy option. By voting, they will get the chance to win a major prize, as well as a series of minor prizes.

The campaign supports Camberwell Junction traders, driving customers to your venues and encouraging them to spend money. To be eligible to enter the Camberwell Culinary Awards, customers have to purchase a meal or beverage, retain their receipt, and upload it as proof of purchase alongside their entry. Customers can enter the competition as many times as they like with every unique receipt.

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

If you operate a food business within the precinct, we encourage you to get involved so you can leverage the marketing activities we’ll be doing to promote the campaign. All food businesses will automatically be eligible to be entered into the awards however, there are extra things you can do to promote your business during this period.

Here are some ways you can get involved:

• Let us know that you want your business promoted during this campaign and we can arrange to have an official poster displayed on your shop window

• Send us details about your offers, specials and sales during the campaign so we can promote it on our website

• Offer a special lunch deal, set menu, or grab‑and‑go meal during the campaign period. It may help with enticing customers into your business

• Tell your customers to vote for your business in the awards.

The Camberwell Culinary Awards is a great way to engage our local community and drive sales. The campaign will be supported by extensive advertising and marketing, and you will be supplied with social media posts so you can help promote the awards.
