We will be holding the YOW! Awards again!
We have many judges that are willing to lay their lives on the line to help pick the 1st, 2nd, 3rd best sauces in 5 different categories… Mild, Medium, Hot, Extreme and Condiment.
The highest ranking sauce will win the Grand Champion “King of Sauces!” And receive a $200 gift certificate for Consolidated Bottle Corporation.
We are doing a double-blind test and points will be given independently for taste, smell, texture, accurate heat rating and overall impression.
To participate in the awards, you will need to provide 2 bottles of each sauce plus $30 (plus HST) per category. We need your sauces by June 15, 2023. One sauce per category please. Etransfer to Info@HeatinguptheCapital.com
(Please include company name and sauce categories in the email of the etransfer)
Winners will be announced at Heating up the Capital on September 16, first thing in the morning. Open to all Canadian makers that comply with below mentioned rules. You do not need to be at the hot sauce expo to participate.
