Show your talent!
The 29th edition of the International Competition for Young Bartenders, EUROCUP 2024, will take place on October 22th and 23th, 2024. For the sixth time, it will also provide an opportunity for young baristas.
Thanks to its scale and tradition this competition ranks among the largest events of its kind in Europe. In addition to the competition itself, it offers a unique opportunity for the professional growth of young bartenders, baristas and aspiring gastronomers through various workshops led by recognised industry professionals. Over the course of the two competition days, a rich program is prepared for both visitors and participants. The event is organised by the Hotel Academy in Prešov with its partners. The school has a long history of cultivating promising bartenders, baristas, and highly-quality gastronomers. More than 2,000 young bartenders from 21 European countries, as well as from across the ocean from Mexico, have participated in previous editions of the competition.
EUROCUP opens the doors to talented young individuals who aspire to elevate the standards of gastronomy.
