Exceptional awards night event management transforms a ceremony into a moment people remember. For the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Pacific Regional Final, Zesty produced a three-day culinary experience culminating in an immersive awards night that celebrated the next generation of chefs from across the region.

Recognised as one of the world's most prestigious culinary competitions, the event brought together ten emerging chefs competing for the opportunity to represent the Pacific at the World Final in Milan. In 2024, Zesty delivered the complete event production across Crown College, Marameo and The LUME Melbourne, a project that later won Best Brand Event (State) at the 2025 Australian Event Awards and Symposium.

The competition began with Zesty transforming an unused training kitchen at Crown College into a fully branded culinary arena that met global competition standards. Every detail from equipment and uniforms to signage and sponsor integration was carefully designed to create a seamless experience for chefs, judges and guests.

The final evening at The LUME Melbourne elevated the competition into a true celebration. A 50-metre dining table sat beneath immersive projections, while choreographed performances, custom S.Pellegrino brand moments and a carefully produced awards ceremony honoured the talent and ambition of the region's finalists.

Great awards night event management is about more than presenting winners it is about creating an experience worthy of the achievements being celebrated. For S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy, Zesty delivered a production that matched the significance of the moment.
