Today, We're launching The Steemit Culinary Challenge #1. This challenge is the rebirth of @givemeyoursteem's Food Challenge. The later has helped many kitchen geniuses get discovered and so I took the initiative to bring it back.
The Steemit Culinary Challenge would go on each weekend and has the same intent of promoting the very same intent @givemeyoursteem had when she started the Steemit Food Challenge which you can read on this post.
Special Thanks to @jamtaylor for the encouragement to take the initiative and do it.
SNIFFLE REMEDY SOUP.
Title your entry this way : "STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE : Title of your Dish" .
Tag your SNIFFLE REMEDY SOUP post with #steemitculinarychallenge , #food-trail and #steemtrail
TAKE PICTURES OF THE STEP BY STEP PROCESS YOU TOOK because unlike other recipe blog sites, in Steemit - we over deliver.
ONLY ONE ENTRY per participant would be counted so submit your very best! If you still submit more than one ONLY YOUR FIRST ENTRY would be counted.
Deadline of Submission is no later than Sunday at 12 midnight UTC +2
ONLY ENTRIES OF VERIFIED AUTHORS would qualify.
To make sure that your work is yours and is not plagiarized or copy pasted from the internet and to make sure that we won't be rewarding a thief DO EITHER ONE OF THESE:
a: Have your picture taken holding the recipe you've cooked.
b: Have your Steemit badge or the paper that says STEEMIT+ date +@yoursteemitaccountname on each of the picture on your entry. The picture should be laid on top or next to your dish entry to make sure it wasn't just photoshoped. Remember, @steamcleaners and @cheetah would go after you.
c: Write your Steemit name on each picture to claim it really is yours.
Include this disclaimer in your post : By entering this competition though you own the rights to the photographs of your entry you acknowledge that I may use any image in that entry once it gets chosen as one of the winners.
Recipes would be counter checked and photos would be double checked to make sure we don't reward anything plagiarized and stolen from other people's work.
BE ORIGINAL! Encourage everyone to help in counter-checking - your co-participant's work. If you find someone's work elsewhere shout it out tactfully.
Criteria for judging:
ORIGINALITY is based on owning your recipe and how related it is to the theme. It could be passed on to you by your nana or ancestors and if has a clone recipe elsewhere which is inevitable - be sure that you've changed it and made it YOUR OWN version. Recipes that have been copied and are already existing on the net would not get any points on originality to make it fair to everyone who's doing their best tweaking or making their own version of a recipe.
SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENTS is about being able to use ingredients that are available everywhere and could grow or last for the whole year to give anyone who would look back at your recipe a chance to do it. Remember, everything stays in this block chain and we want to leave a legacy for future users. Make that legacy worth looking back at!
NUMBER OF UPVOTES is the number of Steemians who upvoted your entry not the amount your entry have gathered.
DOABILITY is very important. Make your recipe presentation idiot proof to make it re- doable. Gather extra points for posting you recipe step by steps and spice it up with your OWN photos with your picture on it or your STEEMIT badge if you must!
FOOD STYLING is mainly on how you presented your recipe. Challenge your excuses - if you can shoot the step by step process do it. Steemit is going world wide so let's make Culinary Challenge reader friendly for non - English speakers.
OVERALL PRESENTATION is about having your post professionally published. If you have borrowed the recipe else where in the net or you have tweaked it but it already exist in the net, don't forget to write your sources. Extra points for posting well edited and entries that talk as if the reader is being walked through the process.
