Chili will be judged by attendee voting only. Everyone at the event can cast a vote for their favorite chili. Votes are based on overall impression including flavor, texture, aroma, appearance, creativity, and spiciness.
Prepare a large pot of chili. The amount depends on event attendance, but plan to have enough for generous sample servings throughout the event. Bringing a full pot will help ensure you have enough to share.
Chili must be kept warm and safe to serve throughout the event. Participants should use heating trays or warmers to maintain a safe serving temperature. Please use clean utensils and follow general food safety practices.
Participants may begin setting up about one hour before the event start time. Tables will be available for arranging your station, plugging in warmers, and preparing your samples.
The event space will be decorated. Additional participant table decorations are optional.
Participants are responsible for cleaning their own station at the end of the event. A cleanup and setup sign up will be provided to help support the process.
There will be one winner based on attendee votes. The participant with the most votes will receive a prize.
