Just a reminder that you can also find loads of Cooking Contests in our databases. There are two sections … so be sure to check both.
Cooking Contests with Deadlines. These are one time only contests with a fixed deadline. Right now, there are a wide range of prizes up to a $50,000 CASH prize.
Cooking Contests - Ongoing. These are normally cooking related contests with monthly prizes awarded. Prizes for the ongoing contests are usually smaller than prizes for the deadline contests, however … this is a good place to get started because you can just keep on refining your recipes and you can enter them over again monthly (be sure to check the rules).
