Event Overview

The Aotearoa Latte Art Championship 2026 is a platform that highlights technical skill and artistic expression in a live performance format. The Latte Art Championship is all about expression. It's live, it's on-demand, and there's nowhere to hide.

Competitors are judged on the visual quality of their pours, how creative their designs are, how identical they can make a matching pair (harder than it sounds), the contrast between milk and espresso, and their overall performance on the day.

It's basically the intersection of skill, nerve, and a really good relationship with your milk jug.

Full details available on the website.
