ORANGE RECIPE CONTEST!

THE FLORIDA ORANGE FESTIVAL invites adults and children to focus their creativity on developing a tasty and healthy recipe where the orange plays the starring role. Contestants are invited to submit recipes in three categories:  salad or side dish, dessert, or beverage - all can be “Kid-Friendly” or suitable for all ages and must not include alcohol.

The recipe must feature either oranges or orange juice as the “featured or star” ingredient (think Iron Chef)

• Each contestant may enter only one recipe.
• Must use oranges or orange juice as feature ingredient
• No more than 10 ingredients can be used.
• Recipes are judged on taste appeal (20%), appearance (20%) and originality of recipe (20%) – ease of preparation (20%) – healthiness of recipe (20%)

Contestants will have an opportunity to showcase their imagination and culinary expertise and provide new ways for orange lovers to enjoy their favorite fruit.

Finalists in the competition will have their recipe judged by a panel of experts in front of a LIVE audience at the First Annual Orange Festival on December 14, 2008 (2:30 pm) at the PAL Sailor Circus. 

The top or FIRST PLACE WINNING recipes selected in each category (both for Adult and Child) will be published in a cookbook with proceeds supporting Defeat Diabetes Foundation, a non-profit charity dedicated to creating awareness about and preventing diabetes.  Look for more winner surprises too!
