The Maltese Bartenders Guild organises a yearly National Cocktail Competition before every summer, during which some of the best bartenders in Malta compete for the National Title whilst some other sponsored prizes are given according to the category. The winner of this competition will eventually represent Malta in the World Cocktail Competition organised by the International Bartenders Association (IBA). This year the WCC 2015 will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria, between the 10th and the 15 th of October.

Cutajar Ltd, Charles Grech Ltd, Paul Bonnici & Sons Ltd and Demajo Ltd will be sponsoring the event and some of the most influential people in the industry will be forming part of the Technical and Tasting Jury.
