Today marks the official opening of the third Sammic Scholarship for BasqueStage. From September 1st through October 16th, young cooks can apply to be a BasqueStage from January 2012 through June 2012.
What do you stand to win?
- A six-month stage, sponsored by Sammic foodservice equipment company, in a three-Michelin star restaurant, Martín Berasategui. But not your average stage—the winners receive a grant of 500 euros per month.
- Winners will also be provided with an apartment in Lasarte, ten minutes outside of San Sebastián, where the restaurant is located.
- We’ve got the practicalities covered, too…no need to worry about little things like health insurance and the flight to Spain.
- You will get your name in front of some of the biggest names in the culinary world: previous judges have included Thomas Keller, Daniel Bouloud, and several of the numerous Michelin-starred chefs from Basque Country.
The application process is simple: first, register your candidacy on our website. Submit the necessary documents: a resume, an essay telling us why you want to be a Basque Stage, and the address of your blog, facebook and twitter, if you have them. Then, submit a video that shows off your culinary and communication skills. Curious about what kind of video to submit? Watch previous candidates’ videos here .
