Title: Kids Q - Out of the Ashes BBQ Comp - Sponsored by BBQ Island
Post by: Mike (AZBarbeque) on July 27, 2012, 01:39:06 pm
The Kids Q for this event is as follows:

This part of the event is being sponsored by BBQ Island, they are the biggest BBQ Store West of the Mississippi and have an incredible staff and selection of everything BBQ.  Thanks guys for stepping up & Sponsoring this portion of the event.

The Kids have to turn in one entry with enough food for 6 Judges.

The entry MUST be cooked on site at the event by the Kid.  Parents are encouraged to work with their kids & oversee the cooking & prepping, but we really want the kids to be the ones doing this so we can get our future BBQers excited about these events.

There is NOT any set meat or category, we are leaving this one wide open to let the Kids choose what they want to cook.  This way, they can get creative & cook something that they actually enjoy.

They will turn in their entry at 3 pm at the Judge's Tent.  There should be enough for 6 Judges, but it does NOT have to be in 6 individual plates.  The Kid must be able to carry the turn in by themselves.

The Kids will actually present their entry to the Judges & explain why they chose this dish & what they did for prep & cooking, so make sure they are ready for that.  The Parent may be there during turn in (It's a great Photo Op).

This Category is FREE to any Kid who's parent is competing in the event with a registered Team.  We encourage all of your Kids to participate.

Sign up for this event will be when you check in at the site on Friday, but no later than the Cook's Meeting at 5 pm on Friday.  We need to know how many Judges to keep around for this category.

Good Luck to all the Kids, have fun with this category & we look forward to seeing our Future Grand Champion BBQers having fun.

Judging Criteria is based on Appearance, Taste, Creativity & Explanation.

Kids Q: 1st place gets 1st place Trophy as well as a Grill Donated by BBQ Island
          2nd Place gets a Trophy & Grill Donated by BBQ Island
          3rd Place gets a Trophy & Grill Donated by AZBarbeque

Big thanks goes to BBQ Island for sponsoring the Kids Q. What better way to get the kids involved than to have them compete. Thanks for working with all the teams here in Arizona, and to repeat what Smitty said. If you haven't been there you are missing out.

It looks like we will have more kids competing at this event than teams.

This is AWESOME to see such a great response to this part of the event.

Our Kids are our future and it's exciting to see them get so excited about our passion.

We are still looking for more donations for the Kids Q to award more places.  If you can help out, please message me.
