The author of Pie Contest in a Box gets chili fans fired up with "a playful kit with judge and prize ribbons, scorecards and an instruction manual" (Statesman).
Chili cook-offs, a fall tradition, have exploded in popularity over the last several years. Easy to organize and yummy to participate in, chili cook-offs are a perfect entertaining event.
The booklet in Chili Cook-Off in a Box explains why chili cook-offs matter today, and describes the history of chili from pre-Columbian campfires to today's vegan versions. It gives instructions on how to organize the event around themes, such as five-alarm, vegetarian, carnivore's delight, red chili, green chili, etc., and has profiles of chili cook-off winners with prize-winning recipes and tips.
Included in the ebook is a link to download and print the following items, which makes it easy to customize your own materials.

Sheet to Track Entries (name, type of chili, designated number)

Numbered Table Tents (so judges don't know whose chili is whose)

Scorecards (rating taste, texture, appearance, creativity)

Judge Badges

Prize Ribbons for Contest Winners
