Big Eats Food Competition Application
Submit your entries to participate in this year's Big Eats food competition! The competition recognizes the incredible food offered at the Fair and the talented folks behind the counter.
You may enter food items in multiple categories, but, if chosen, the entry will be selected as a finalist in one of the following categories - Best Tasting, Most Creative or New Food.
All finalists will be entered into the online Fairgoer Favorite category. If you are entering more than one food item, separate applications are required for each food item and items cannot be in the same categories.
Defend your crown! Previous winning entries from Best Tasting, Most Creative and Fairgoer Favorite categories are encouraged to re-enter this year's competition.
