World Cheese Awards 2025

November 12–14, 2025

Bern, Switzerland

The World Cheese Awards (WCA) is one of the most respected competitions in the world attracting thousands of entries each year, and your company's cheese could be among the contenders! This year it will be taking place in Switzerland from November 12-14th.
USDEC will be supporting U.S. cheesemakers by once again covering the WCA entry costs for the first 200 U.S. cow's milk (including mixed-milk) cheeses entered into the competition. USDEC will also provide support applying for the shipping documentation required to enter the competition.
  
The last date for entries is on Tuesday, September 16th or earlier if the entry cap is reached. Since the organizers have placed a cap on the number of entries this year, we encourage you to enter soon. For more information or questions please reach out to Nuhami Alemu (nalemu@usdec.org).
