Nominate an Awesome Community Chef

The Chef community is full of many awesome individuals who contribute and do exceptional things every day. Each year at ChefConf, individuals are awarded the Awesome Community Chef award. The Awesome Community Chef awards are a way for the community to recognize a few of the individuals who have made a dramatic impact and have helped further the cause.

Nominate an Awesome Community Chef now!

Think about the people who have helped you succeed with Chef. Did they help you learn about Chef, build a tool that helped make Chef better, or done something awesome for the community?

Not all awesome Chefs are able to participate in the public community. Perhaps there’s someone on your team who has had an outsized impact on the success of your team. This person is also eligible to be recognized as an awesome Chef. Be sure the story you share on the nomination form captures their contributions.

We are planning to award the Awesome Community Chef award to three community members and one Chef employee this year.

Nominations will close on Friday, April 21 at 12 PM (noon) Pacific Time.

Winners will be announced at ChefConf during the Awesome Chef Awards and Closing Ceremony, Wednesday, May 24, 2017 at 4:30PM.

Take a few minutes to nominate your favorite Awesome Community Chefs today.
