Submissions of food writing are due on the website FoodsFromChile.org by February 11 th. A jury of national magazine editors and a leading food blogger will choose the best submission on February 25th. The winner will join nine prominent food journalists on a Chilean food tour in April, where they will dispatch blog posts and videos discovering amazing foods and ingredients.
The Chilean culinary tour will travel through various regions, from Atacama, Coquimbo, Valparaiso, to Santiago. The writers will explore vineyards, olive groves, fruit plantations; eat specially prepared meals at the restaurants of local Chilean chefs; and meet the local producers at the heart of one of the most abundant exporters of wholesome foods to the U.S. and world.
The tour will visit the Mercado Central, described as one of the world’s top five food markets and a foodie’s paradise, as well as Bellavista and other cultural heritage sites. On April 12 th, the tour will stop by the Nam Santiago Food Festival for a taste of the latest culinary innovations of Chile.
