The sixth annual Wake Up Weekend Vegan Chili Cook-off is right around the corner. So bring it. Your best, most creative, most beautiful vegan chili. We’ve removed all barriers to entry. No fees! No cost to attend! A chance to put your best chili chops on some of the most discriminating palates in the world–people like, I don’t know…Bryant Terry?

If you want to enter a chili:
– Give us a heads-up (if you can–we get that sometimes the mood strikes late) at wakeupweekend@gmail.com.
– Bring enough vegan chili to serve 8-10 hungry adults. We recommend a crock pot or some other contraption that will enable you to KEEP IT HOT!
– Come a little early to register, set up your chili, and prepare your samples for the judges (106 South Division, Grand Rapids, think 6:00-6:10 pm)

Not taking the vegan chili challenge? That’s okay. We need you anyway!
– Taste the vegan chili entries
– Place your vote for the People’s Choice Award
– Try some killer vegan food samples from our friends at local restaurants
– Bring a muffin tin to make your tasting duties A SNAP!
– No muffin tin? Just bring a fork and spoon (or maybe one of those messed-up sporks) – we’ll provide taster bowls.
– Bring your own beverage*–some for you, some to share: water, almond milk, juice, kombucha–you know, something to drink.
* Please note: This event is all-ages and 106 is an alcohol-free zone. Please make sure your beverage of choice is venue suitable. Thanks!

Sorry muffins. These tins are full up.
