With the Competition entry fee of $10.00 you will get,

  •  A space of about 10X10 feet
  • You will automatically be eligible for the People’s Choice Award 
    • The People’s Choice Award will be decided by the folks tasting your chili. They will place a ticket, which they receive with their tasting cups into the ballot can/box (supply your own box) of the Chili Cooking team of their choice.
  • You will automatically be eligible for the Showmanship Award
    • The Showmanship Award will be decided by some real sneaky, undercover judges who you will not know. Heck, we don’t even know who they are…yet. Anyway, they will select the Showmanship winner based on a bunch of stuff like, costumes, booth setup, and crowd appeal. No Nudity or lewdness is allowed. Have as much fun as you can with your clothes on.

The CHILI CHIEF (1st place), CHILI CAPTAIN (2ND place), and CHILI BOOTER (3RD place) will be decided by our tasting judges.

Now, here’s the deal on the chili judging. Generally, Chili Cook offs describe chili as containing meat, chili and spices without fillers such as beans and rice. Well, we’re trying to keep this as simple and fun as we can but we still would like to bring out your real chili cook’n talents and recipes.
So, if you cook your chili within the time allotted, on site and it contains red chili and meat but no fillers such as beans, rice, or vegetables, you will receive two bonus points from each judge.
If you cook your chili on site, but it contains fillers such as beans or rice but no dirt, you will receive one bonus point per judge.
So, you are still welcome to cook your chili at home with beans in it and you will be on an even playing field for the People’s Choice and Showmanship Awards. But, those who cook on site will have a slight advantage. Okay? Good!

YOU MUST:

  •  Prepare at least one gallon of chili for tasting and one pint of chili for judging.
  • Supply all of their own ingredients, equipment and fuel. No electricity will be available on site.
  • Keep language and food as clean as possible.
  • Teams are encouraged to ridicule and otherwise harass other teams in an effort to make them cry.
  • Teams should have as much fun as possible.
  • Finally, Teams are encouraged to bring a homemade pie for the PIE AUCTION!
