About the DGF Awards
Since 2002, the Doreen Gamboa Fernandez (DGF) Food Writing Award has been documenting Philippine food and culture in essay form. The DGF tradition is rooted in stories told in words.
The Doreen Gamboa Fernandez or DGF Awards, now in its 21st year, began with a food writing competition.
In 2023, we take the celebration of Filipino food into the era of video storytelling.
This year, we want to recognize video creators who tell stories about Filipino food. Shoot a recipe, Document local cooks, ingredients, and techniques. Find a connection between food and history, your personal experience, your community, culture, and beyond.
