Here’s a skill contest everyone can enter. All you have to know how to do is open a can of Chicken of the Sea and whip up a great recipe. With a $10,000 prize at stake, it is worth your time to dabble in the kitchen a few hours.
And don’t always assume that someone else is a better cook, has more talent or knows more than you do. Sometimes it’s the “dah” items that become super hits.
Below are partial rules. As always, read all of the rules before you enter any sweepstakes or contest. It is very important that you adhere to what the sponsors are requiring and pay attention to what you will be judged on.
The contest begins at 12:00:00 AM ET May 15, 2010 and ends 11:59:59 PM ET on August 15, 2010.
To enter, go to Chicken of the Sea and follow the onscreen instructions to complete and submit the official entry form, including: (i) all required entry information, (ii) a photograph of you, (iii) your Chicken of the Sea recipe (including exact ingredients, U.S. measurements and instructions for preparation), (iv) an essay in English of no more than 400-words describing why you are someone who can turn simple Chicken of the Sea dishes into super meals that are healthy, nutritious and convenient (Essay explaining why you should be the SuperCook).
There is no limit on the number of Entries you can submit, but each Entry must be substantially different from any other.
The Winning Entries and, within Sponsor’s sole discretion, certain non-winning Entries will be displayed on a special Chicken of the Sea web page at the Contest Site. Potential winners will be determined by picking from (10) top submissions among ALL the eligible Entries received by a team of three producers from The Balancing Act and Chicken of the Sea representatives (collectively, the “Judges”). Entries will be judged based on: Recipe creativity (20%), Use of Chicken of the Sea product in recipe (20%), Taste/appearance of the recipe (20%), Embodiment of Chicken of the Sea brand assets (health, nutrition & convenience (40%).
The recipe, essay and photo are required for submission to the Contest. If all elements are not submitted, your entry will not be considered for submission.
