Competition Rules & Regulations

Judging Criteria

5. Each contestant MUST submit at least six to eight separate and identifiable portions of meat in a container. If not enough meat is sent in, the judges will be instructed to do the best they can. This in no way will penalize the other contestants who have properly submitted their entry. Poultry entries, if not cut or portioned into at least six pieces, may be penalized.

6. Garnish is limited to leave of GREEN lettuce and/or common curly parsley. ANY other garnish type in the container will disqualify the entry.

7. NO aluminum foil is allowed in the containers.

8. No toothpicks, skewers, foreign material or stuffing are permitted.

9. To simplify the judging process, no side sauce containers will be permitted in the meat judging containers. Meats may be presented with or without sauce on it as the contestant wishes. Sauce may NOT be pooled or in the container.

10. A contestant/team may enter only one variety or type of meat in a category.
