Each category has a different entry period.

The public will determine who the 100 finalists will be, based on entries narrowed down to 60 per category.

The recipes must be simple: no more than seven ingredients (not counting salt, pepper and water) and no more than 30 minutes for prep.

Each entry has to include two different ingredients from two provided lists.

The event is in the fall.
