Saveur Video Festival: Winners

The art of online video is something extraordinary: whether we’re sitting behind a desk or holding a smartphone on the subway, we can lend a filmmaker a few minutes of our time and in return he takes us on a journey. Among all the stories told, those about food — its origins, creation, and consumption — are the closest to our hearts.

We're beyond thrilled to announce the winners in our first annual SAVEUR VIDEO FESTIVAL!

After hundreds of submissions and countless hours logged viewing extraordinary videos and selecting finalists, our judging panels have arrived at their decisions. We're delighted to reward the judges' choice winners in each category with a $500 cash prize, and people's choice winners with $250. Our overall winner—the beautiful, evocative, and wonderfully wanderlust-inducing "A Taste of India"—receives a $2500 prize and a consultation with SAVEUR editors. See all the finalists and winners right here!
