TASTE AWARDS Announce Viewers Choice, Best Producer, Director and Cinematographer Award Winners

The 17th annual TASTE AWARDS proudly announce the Award Winners in the Viewers Choice Award Categories, as decided by votes from thousands of followers and fans. In addition, awards were announced for Best Producer, Best Cinematographer, and Best Director, as selected by the Academy of Media Tastemakers— a global body of creators, producers, and industry leaders recognizing excellence in lifestyle media.

Often called “The Oscars of Food, Fashion and Lifestyle Media,” the TASTE AWARDS are not just an event — they are the global benchmark for excellence in food, fashion, travel, health, and culture storytelling. Like a Michelin Star, a Grammy, or an Emmy, they signal work that sets the standard rather than follows it.
