Wild American Shrimp®, the American Shrimp Processors Association (ASPA)’s marketing program for wild-caught Gulf and South Atlantic Shrimp, announces a call for nominations for 2019 Chef of the Year. Out of 38 Chef Advocates who represent Wild American Shrimp®, only one can be named the “Admiral of Advocacy” for ASPA each year.
To be named Chef of the Year, nominees must meet certain criteria including: ways they have promoted Wild American Shrimp® through their personal social media channels, TV appearances, and other media opportunities; their involvement in philanthropic efforts within their community, sustainability efforts, restaurant(s) featuring two or more dishes containing Wild American Shrimp® and they must have won at least one culinary excellence award.
Applications for nominations will be reviewed and narrowed down by an ASPA board member, an ASPA member shrimp processor and a member of the Wild American Shrimp® marketing team. Out of the qualified nominations, the group will choose three finalists who will be featured in press releases, blog posts, online features, social media and more. A winner will be chosen from those three. The winner will reign for one year and will receive prizes to include a custom-designed plaque, official proclamation, and $500 given to the charity of the winner’s choosing.
