Yes. As long as the product is purchasable by the industry whether that be direct via your website or a third party website you are eligible.

No, you can enter as many products as you like but each individual product can only be entered into one category. Each steak will fit into a category.

The wagyu category is only for full blood wagyu breeds, all crossbreeds must be entered into the relevant cut categories.

There is no limit.

Entries must be sent as primal off the bone beef. We need enough to cut 6 (2cm thick) steaks from this for judging purpose. This informative video will provide you with more information.

Delivery is limited to two days, Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th September, between the hours of 09:00-15:00 local time only. If you have any delivery queries, please contact wsteakchallenge@wrbm.com

We have a variety of industry-leading experts on each panel. More information on our expert judging panel can be found here.

All entered and judged products will receive a dedicated report, which will be sent out after the Awards ceremony.

We will recognise excellence by awarding multiple gold, silver or bronze medal in each category using our scoring criteria.

All medallists and winners will receive logos along with a 'Make the most of your win' pack to promote their success at the World Steak Challenge. These logos can be used indefinitely providing they remain dated.

Bronze, Silver and Gold winners will receive a digital certificate if requested. Gold medal winning companies as well as overall winners will receive a trophy at the awards ceremony on 10th September.
