Thinking fun and how to encourage all, including computer newbies to share their cooking ideas (with just knowing how to key letters and numbers, plus push the enter key), I looked at the wording for requirements,
Wouldn't it be best to have this as a sticky????
Quote:As there are many great and potentially great cooks on COCIA it has been suggested to me by Muzz (Sundryed) that we run several cooking competitions throughout 2009. This will give an opportunity for everyone to show off their talents.
Muzz will be co-ordinating things.
It is proposed that we break it into categories and each category be run for a period of two months prior to judging. For example – roasts, stews, deserts, breads etc.
There will be a prize awarded for the best of each category with a certificate also awarded for the best and runner up.
Recipes must be cooked in a camp oven or camp ovens and you may use whatever heat source you wish, e.g. Heat Beads, Coals, Gas.
Each category will be judged by two members of the forum who will not have entries in that category.
Entries are to be emailed to me (I will not be competing) and they will be posted them on the forum. All entries will remain anonymous until the judging is complete. This section will be locked for viewing only. Members are not permitted to publicly comment on entries until after judging is complete.
Entries are to include the recipe, a written dialogue of the process and a minimum of four photos.
Judges will award points for each stage of the process as follows with a maximum of 50 points able to be awarded.
Photos must be presented in such a way that will enable judges to award points for each section and must not identify the originator of the recipe. Photos must also show the camp oven for verification. Photos of the final presentation may include any trimmings considered necessary to show off your recipe at its best.
Recipe – 10 points
Prepared Recipe – 10
Cooked – 10 points
Final Presentation – 20 points
This is basically it in a nutshell. If you have any questions or do not fully understand anything please do not hesitate to post them up before we get under way.

"Entries must have recipe with list of ingredients, text giving steps to prepare dish, and at least 4 photos
Photos must show enough about the cooking steps and at least one way of serving that will let judges decide on points for each section and must not identify who is competing. Photos must also show the camp oven for verification. Photos of the final serving set up may include any trimmings considered necessary to show off your recipe at its best"Anything that can say KISS, or keep it simple I'd hope would say 'come one, join the fun'.
Again, having the requirements to compete as a sticky would help all find them and read them.
& to somewhere to say, all you need to do is be able to put what you have into an email to Derek, both the written part and the photos.
====================
Also, for what it's worth, I long ago decided that I'm too much of a North American to submit any dishes to this competition. So, I'm just reading for interest and I find what members enter very interesting.
