116 bartenders in 34 countries! Our big thanks to the bartenders that submitted their heartfelt essays to be considered for the “HLC Global Bartender Travel Scholarship 2022.” Our judging panel members in the U.S. and globally are now reviewing the entries and will select 18 worthy bartender recipients. Stay tuned for the winners announcement in the new year! “Bartending is a noble career, and our scholarship is our agency’s way of honoring the profession and giving back to the bar community that we admire,” says @michaelanstendig, Editor in Chief, Hanna Lee Communications and Co-Author of the award-winning book, “The Japanese Art of the Cocktail.” “We see travel as an inimitable way to broaden minds and palates and enabling bartenders to attend global cocktail festivals is key to energizing and inspiring them,” says @hannaleeny, President and Founder of Hanna Lee Communications.
