Competition – September 24, 2022

All competitors are required to prepare 3 gallons of chili and serve during the People’s Choice portion. Canned chili may NOT be used for People’s Choice.

Competitors are responsible for providing their own ingredients, cooking utensils and equipment.

Competitors are required to create five sample dishes and one presentation dish that will be presented to judges on a silver platter (that will be provided by the event).

Do you have a GREAT chili recipe? Are your friends and neighbors always telling you that you should enter a cook-off? Well, now is your chance! The World Open Chili Challenge is open to amateurs and experts alike. This category allows chili cooks, pro chefs and home cooks to focus on making their best chili creation outside the confines of a traditional, sanctioned chili cook-off.

The World Open division will occur Saturday, September 24th. Competition hours, rules and regulations will be emailed to each registered Open competitor.

Space is limited in the World Open, so don’t delay. Each competitor will receive a 10×10 tented cooking space, a table and two chairs. Similar to the Pro Chili division, all cooks will be required to bring their own ingredients and cooking apparatus (propane burner), and utensils.
