JOTK Community LOCKDOWN Award for BEST RECIPE & PHOTOGRAPH Competition 2020

21 • January • 2021

Keeping in mind my earlier post I am delighted to share now the winner of the JOTK Community LOCKDOWN Award for BEST RECIPE & PHOTOGRAPH Competition 2020. Created in association with the American Woman’s Association of Qatar (AWAQ) and partners The LULU Hypermarket Qatar, The Cooking Academy Doha and Qinwan Dates.

BOOM!

Sadly the award gifting was very much later on from the initial awareness and delayed due to Qatar’s battle with Coronavirus during 2020 (as with ALL the countries around the world). Excitingly though eventually the timing was right and several months later the winner was announced and awarded her long awaited praise and prizes.

The WINNER was the very talented Ms. Christine Sperr – a long time member and Secretary of AWAQ.

The event took place in Quick Bites Cafe situated in the Marriot Marquis Hotel Doha under the kind permission of Mr. Dave Keys. We all very much obeyed Qatar’s social distancing rules and limited the numbers attending to the permitted 8. Photographic coverage was taken by The LULU Hypermarket and of course, the news hit the social media platform big time in Doha.
