Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, CPI Media Group has made the decision to cancel the BBC Good Food Middle East Magazine Awards 2020 ceremony to ensure our attendees’ safety. As we all know, this annual gala brings together chefs, restaurateurs and individuals associated with the hospitality industry in the Middle East. Over the last decade, this highly-anticipated gathering has become a place to catch up with old friends, meet leading tastemakers, and indulge in the best of culinary offerings. Not to mention, cheer on our local favourites. Unfortunately, it won’t be the same this year, with restrictions still in place for large gatherings. Therefore, we regret to inform you that the BBC Good Food Middle East Magazine Awards 2020 ceremony will no longer take place.

We understand that nominees are eagerly waiting for the final results, and have been actively promoting each voting round. Since we won’t be getting together on this occasion, we will be announcing the winners across our digital and social media platforms – so you can share the great news with your loyal fans. Furthermore, the winners’ list will also be published within a special section in the next issue of BBC Good Food ME.

We look forward to seeing you next year! .
