DEADLINE TO APPLY IS SEPTEMBER 13!

Welcome to the Coffee Fest Latte Art World Championship Open. This exciting 64 competitor, bracket style, sudden death format features head-to-head competition as "a match" between the competitors. The competitor receiving the highest score from the three judges advances to the next round and the loser is eliminated. Competitors are given three minutes to produce one free-pour drink for the judges (no etching, tool, powders, etc. - just milk and espresso), which is then scored against the competitor at the facing machine. (Nuova Simonelli Aurelia machines are used for the competition.)

Judging is Based on Five Categories:
1) Aesthetic Beauty
2) Definition
3) Color Infusion
4) Degree of Difficulty & Creativity
5) Speed
