Space will be given to contestants not on BBQ competition teams (please let us know your space requirements and power needs), and two admission passes per entry will be provided for the festival .

There will be one winner, selected by the panel of judges. This winner will receive $250 cash and be eligible to compete in the 2016 World Food Championships Dessert Finals in Orange Beach, AL. The WFC’s are a televised cooking competition that offered $300,000.00 in prize money in 2015 to winners. This competition is open to both professional and amateur cooks with no division of contestants.

Scoring is based on the EAT system: Execution, Appearance and Taste. Five (5) samples (bite sized or bigger) for judges are to be turned in as well as one whole dessert for photographs. See the example given to us for sandwiches to understand one “presentation” plate and 5 smaller samples.  Plates will be returned to competitors after judging, and will be available on the turn in table after 8:30 p.m. Friday. More details will be sent with your confirmation letter.
