Coming Soon: Official Nominee List Announcement for the TASTE AWARDS

The TASTE AWARDS Committee would like to announce that the screening and voting panels and working groups for this year’s annual TASTE AWARDS have completed their tasks and the results are currently being tabulated for the year’s best in lifestyle media programming and content.

Over this week and next various updates, media alerts, etc. will go out, culminating with the announcement of this year’s Finalist Nominees in mid-February.

Additional information will also be released at that time about this year’s awards ceremony format. As you know, in normal times this awards show takes place in Beverly Hills, and in 2021 was virtual due to COVID.

We would also like this time to offer our condolences to friends and family of cultural icon Andre Leon Talley, who in 2021 was inducted into the 8th Class of the Taste Hall Of Fame.

Often considered “the Oscars of Food, Fashion and Lifestyle Media,” The TASTE AWARDS in Beverly Hills are the premier awards uniquely celebrating the year’s best Food, Drink, Fashion, Fitness, Travel, How To, and Lifestyle programming on Television, in Film, Streaming and Online, in Podcasts, on Radio and in Photography.
