We’re Off!

Is 2025 your year? The special BSFA logo that’s issued to the finalists chosen to compete each year – from over 2,000 applicants – is a real badge of honour. An Award opens doors. So why not give it a go? If chosen, you’ll be invited to compete at the heats (where there is a people’s vote and a judges’ vote, plus wild cards for the traders our judges think deserve them). Winners go through to the British finals – where 15 Awards are up for grabs – and the European finals, so make 100% certain you’re available. That champion’s trophy won’t lift itself you know…

A British Street Food Award genuinely changes lives. Wingmans, big winners at the BSFA and the ESFA in 2017, recently opened up their second ‘proper’ restaurant. MEATliquor, who won at the Awards back in 2009 – now have nine of the things. Bao have five. An Award opens doors. This year the BSFA champions will be going to compete in the grand final of the 2025 European Street Food Awards in Germany. BSFA winners go places. Literally.

So check out the dates and locations below. If you’re a foodie, do NOT miss this opportunity. Clear your diary. If you’re a trader, head straight over to our new application form. Either way, this is a call to action. Our Awards have been drawing attention to the great works being done in the world of really casual eating since 2009. And, since 2017, things have been going crazy at our events in Europe and the USA. But it was the British Street Food Awards that started it all off. Now’s your chance – come and join us.
