Here in San Sebastián, we’re working hard to get ready for the III Sammic Scholarship for BasqueStage, a continuation of the amazing program that brings aspiring chefs to show their stuff and win a six-month paid stage in the kitchen of Martin Berasategui.
We have some exciting news….this round, for the first time in the program’s history, APPLICANTS WORLDWIDE will be eligible to apply for BasqueStage. Now young cooks of all nationalities have the opportunity to win the chance of a lifetime, to live, cook, eat and blog in Basque Country…and get paid for it.
The new deadlines, dates, and conditions of this year’s competition are coming soon on the BasqueStage website. Applications will be accepted from September 1st through October 16th. Our latest winners, Marco Bahena and Cameron Rolka, are just whetting their appetites in the kitchen, but we are beginning the search for the next talented winners. Stay tuned (sign up for our newsletter here) for more information on how to apply, the jury, and the selection process. Details coming soon!
I can’t wait to make my submission!
Great! Get it in by the 16th!
