2010 KIDZ "Q" CONTEST RULES AND REGULATIONS
- THERE WILL BE TWO (2) AGE GROUP DISTINCTIONS AND THE ENTRY FEE IS $10.00. Children 8-11 will compete in one group and children 12-15 will compete in the second group. Both groups will cook at the same time but their entries will be judged separately.
- The child must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times but the child must do all of the preparation, cooking, and presentation. Parents may help only if a dangerous situation occurs.
- We have more prizes this year thanks to our Kidz Q sponsor Century Tube! The first place prize in each age category is a $500.00 US Savings Bond. Second place for each age category is a $100.00 US Savings Bond. The award presentations will take place at 4:00pm Saturday in the Brown Gym (near the corner of Broadway and the river road).

- PREPARATION, COOKING, AND PRESENTATION
- Competitors will be cooking on a charcoal grill. They can bring their own or reserve one of ours. We have 16 grills available for use. All cooking will occur in the designated area under tents near the gazebo on the riverfront. Presentations must be done on site. The judging will occur at 11:00 am sharp, Saturday, August 21. The grills will be available at 9:00am and children can start their charcoal at any point thereafter.
- In 2010, we will be cooking fruits and vegetables. Contestants will bring all of their own ingredients. You can cook any combination of vegetables or fruits. Organizers will provide charcoal and lighter fuel. Participants can use these supplies or bring fuel of their own choosing.
- Participants must bring any additional items and cooking utensils of their own selection. Suggested items to bring include: a spray water bottle for flames, paper towels, spatulas/tongs/forks, knife for slicing cooked meat, cutting board, oven mitts, a meat thermometer and all garnishments.
- Organizers will also provide presentation trays and two sets of disposable plastic gloves. Remember that there is no running water on the riverfront but you still need to prepare food in a hygienic manner.
