Something to note is that "the students are competing against a standard, and accumulate points for the competition". This year two teams that were only one point away from gold. It's good to know this isn't just some fluff event that hands out fuzzy awards just for participating. Everything is earned through hard work. I think that's important to prepare the students for what they will face in the highly competitive food industry.

I found this awesome culinary contest for culinary students that I think readers would be interested in.

The Office of Champagne, USA is hosting a culinary contest for Culinary Students, the winning prize is a trip to FRANCE! Here is some of the info...

3rd Annual Champagne Pairing Culinary Contest

Office of Champagne, USA cordially invites culinary students from around the country to participate in its 3rd Annual Champagne Pairing Culinary Contest. Champagne, long recognized as the world-wide drink of celebrations, has a place at meals too. Champagne is a versatile wine that can complement a wide range of cuisines. From succulent shellfish to delectable desserts, Champagne is ready to take its place in American culture as a complement to a variety of dishes.

Culinary students interested in entering the contest are asked to submit an original recipe in one of three categories - appetizer, main course or dessert - paired with their favorite style of Champagne. Each recipe will be judged on taste, creativity/originality, ease of preparation and Champagne pairing.

Three finalist’s recipes in each category will be prepared by a renowned Washington, D.C. chef and judged by a panel of independent experts who will determine the winner in each category.

The creators of the three winning recipes will receive a trip to the Champagne region of France, including airfare and accommodations. While in the Champagne region, winners will take part in a once-in-a-lifetime educational experience. They will learn firsthand about the terroir, history and strict winemaking regulations of the birthplace of true Champagne.

To view the application and contest rules, please visit our website at www.champagne.us.

Entries should list ingredients, instructions, as well as the recommended Champagne pairing. A written explanation as to why the Champagne style pairs well with the recipe must also be included.

All entries must be received by Friday, June 29th, 2007. Finalists will be announced in July.

Applications may be submitted electronically through the website or via email at culinarycontest@clsdc.com.
