It’s time to register your favourites for the second edition of What’s On’s leading leisure and entertainment awards…
Last week, we announced the return of the What’s On Saudi Arabia Awards in September 2024. This exciting celebration of Saudi Arabia’s thriving hospitality and leisure scene will see winners crowned across 36 categories.
And we’re excited to say that registrations are now open. So if you are a F&B professional, or know of a restaurant that you want to register, you’re encouraged to register now via riyadh.platinumlist.net.
What’s On Saudi Arabia Awards 2024: The process
Registrations are now open, and each venue entry costs USD100.
What makes these awards special is that they’re voted for by the public, so those that decide the winners truly believe they’re the best in the business. Voting will then open on June 1 and close at the end of July. So, if you want your venue to be in with the best chance of winning, you’ll need to register ASAP.
Once the votes are in, we will welcome the country’s top local and international gastronomy and entertainment talents to a dazzling awards night at JW Marriott Hotel Riyadh on Tuesday September 17, 2024. It will be here that the winners of those coveted trophies will be announced.
The categories
This year, the awards have been extended to an impressive 36 categories, expanding to include new cuisines and experiences in Riyadh, and encompass restaurants, entertainment and leisure categories across the wider Kingdom, a testament to the accelerated growth in Jeddah, AlUla, and Eastern Province.
Of the 36 categories, 33 are decided solely by public vote. But we couldn’t let you have all of the fun. Completing the awards categories are a trio of coveted Editor’s Choice awards, which will be handpicked by the editorial team. These are Homegrown Restaurant of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and Restaurant of the Year.
You can view the full list of categories here.
