Nominations now open for the 2026 Eat Game Awards

Nominations are now open for the Eat Game Awards 2026 and we want to hear from you.

This is your chance to shine a spotlight on the chefs, butchers, retailers, influencers and innovators who are redefining how Britain cooks and enjoys game.

Eat Game (BASC’s game meat promotional brand) wants to know who you think are the people and businesses leading the way when it comes to game. Whether they’re cooking it, selling it or inspiring others to give it a go, these are the individuals and businesses the awards are designed to celebrate – recognising the craft and creativity behind game cookery.

Now well established as a prestigious event in the food calendar, the Eat Game Awards feature eight categories, including a new Rising Star Award for under-21 chefs making their mark in game cookery. For the first time, the coveted Champion of Champions title will be decided entirely by public vote in February 2026.

Previous winners include Joe Mann, of Queen’s College, Taunton, and Rachel Green – champions who have inspired wider audiences to celebrate game. 

Nominations are open until 14 December 2025 – make sure your game heroes get the recognition they deserve.
