Description
You asked for it, so here it is!
Meadow Fresh New Zealand Latte Art Championship Workshop 2019
The workshop is designed for anyone wanting to compete in the Meadow Fresh New Zealand Latte Art Championship. We will breakdown the scoring categories so you can best prepare yourself to compete, referencing the Rules & Regulations documents from the World Coffee Event. This is not a hands-on workshop (we will not be teaching you how to pour latte art). It is a rules-based event, lecture and power-point presentation with Q&A.
As part of the workshop, we will send out a pre-test to those attending to start you thinking in terms of the rules within the championship.
Come along and learn how to understand the rules and get the best out of your competition experience. All welcome.
The beers and pizza are on our machine sponsor La Marzocco NZ!

More about the event itself:
The Meadow Fresh New Zealand Latte Art Championship 2019 (MFNZLAC 2019) leads to the World Latte Art Championship which will be held on 6-8 June 2019 in Berlin, Germany.
The MFNZLAC 2019 prize pack will include flights and accommodation to the World Latte Art Championship 2019.
The MFNZLAC 2019 will be held in strict accordance to the World Latte Art Rules and Regulations, Code of Conduct and other rules pertaining to the event.
Event Overview
The MFNZLAC 2019 highlights artistic expression in a competition platform that challenges the barista in an on-demand performance.
MFNZLAC 2019 comprises two separate rounds: a preliminary round and a final round.
The preliminary round will take place on stage eight (8) minutes, where two identical free-pour lattes and two identical designer lattes are produced.
The highest-scoring six competitors will compete in the final round entirely on stage ten (10) minutes. In final of this championship, the baristas present two identical samples of ‘art in a cup’ for three different beverages: two separate sets of matching free pour lattes and one set of matching designer pattern lattes (which may incorporate etching, or similar techniques, and surface decoration).
The first two pours will be made only with a pitcher of milk. The designer latte can be made with any surface aid at the choice of the barista. To ensure that the presented art is what the barista intends to deliver, the judges will be given a photo of the intended design prior to the start of the presentation. Artistic impressions of the design are allowed alongside the image (photo) but the photo shall be the point of reference to the judges scoring.
The beverages will be judged immediately for visual attributes, creativity, identical patterns in the pairs, the contrast in the patterns, and the baristas overall performance.
Event Overview Structure
This competition takes place over a day and consists of a preliminary round and a final round. Each competitor competes in the preliminary round, and then the top six will compete again in a finals round to determine the winner with the highest score, who becomes The Meadow Fresh New Zealand Latte Art Champion 2019. Please note that this is only a summary description of the event and that detailed structure and rules for this competition are set forth in and controlled by the Official Rules and Regulations.
