PowerUps 1st Annual Community Chili Cook-off Contestants Rules and Guidelines Event will be held Saturday, January

If you run out you will miss out on votes, which could cost you the main prize of $75.00 2. All cooking will be done at home and brought to this event around 5:30 pm before the doors open. This will give you ample time to set up. 3.

Contestants are not permitted to sell or give away any type of food or drink (other than condiments for chili) during the event. PowerUps will have cinnamon rolls and other things to go with the chili. There will also be water and tea provided. 5. Contestants are responsible for keeping their chili area clean. 6. Each attendee will be given a ballot to vote for their favorite number. You will be assigned a number and bowls with your chili will have your number on it.
