recipe contest

I’m taking a break from party planning to put up a quick post about a kids’ recipe contest. It’s super time-sensitive – so here are the details…

The submission portion of the contest began on January 1, 2014 and ends on January 22, 2014 – that’s only 2 weeks from tomorrow!

Healthy Recipe Contest for Kids!

If your child has a winning healthy recipe – keep reading, because he/she could win a brand new bike!

Every year, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona sponsors a recipe contest as part of its Walk On! Challenge to fight childhood obesity. The contest is open to all Arizona children between the ages of 9 and 12 years old.

To enter your recipe – GO HERE to submit it.

This year, they are looking for recipes for hot or cold side dishes.

• Must be an original recipe for a hot or cold side dish
• Includes at least one fruit and/or vegetable
• Can be cooked within 20 minutes (not including prep time)

Five kids will be chosen as finalists and invited to present their recipes to a panel of judges at a public event in Litchfield, Arizona, on February 1. Following the event, the recipes will be posted through the BCBS of AZ Facebook page where the public is invited to vote for their favorite recipe.

All finalists will receive fun prizes and the grand prize winner will receive a bike. The winner may also be invited to show their stuff on TV in a local cooking demonstration!

Good Luck!
