- Entrants are asked to provide two batches of the recipe:
One, in “full dress”, to be photographed and divided among the judges
(judges need very small servings; a total of “6” bites altogether)
The second batch is for the public tasting on a first-come, first-served basis
Recipes will be judged on the following:
Presentation (5 points)
Flavor/texture/mouth experience (6 points)
Originality and use of mangoes (4 points)
Mango Recipe Contest Coordinator, Wanda Adams, will act as a tie-breaker judge if needed.
First, second and third place winners will be recognized in each category and an overall winner will be chosen by judges’ consensus.
