3. Send it to EVENTS.Medical@nutricia.com together with your name, phone number, workplace and location

The winner will be judged on their creativity and presentation, so add your own spin to our recipes!

To support an entry from yourself and/or your team, your Nutricia Sales representative can bring the ingredients for one of our recipes to a team meeting, where you can get cooking together. One of the team will reach out shortly, if they haven’t already, to find a time that suits.

Once you’ve snapped your winning shot, email your image to EVENTS.Medical@nutricia.com together with your name, phone number, workplace and location.

But be quick! The competition runs from 14th April to 23rd June, and one winner will be chosen at the Nutricia Paediatric Symposium on 1st July 2025.
