Registrations for the inaugural Richest Barista competition are now open.
The event will take place at the 2023 Melbourne International Coffee Expo (MICE), where baristas will have the chance to compete for up to $40,000 in prize money.
Richest Barista is a knock-out format, fast-paced competition designed to exhibit barista talent to the global coffee industry and coffee lovers.
Taking place over the course of MICE2023 from 17 to 19 August at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, baristas will compete in three intense head-to-head rounds, Barista, Latte Art and Cup Tasting, that test their overall practical and sensory skills.
With just 32 competitor positions available, the winner will be the last barista standing who has achieved excellence in all rounds of coffee preparation and tasting.
There are currently 15 positions available for MICE2023 exhibitors, five positions available for association members, and 12 positions available for general industry members, including international baristas.
Applications close at 11:59pm on Friday 9 June 2023.
