SALSA ENTRY RULES:
Homemade Only – No store-bought jars or premade salsas. We’re here for the real deal. Yes, we will judge you.

Mild, Medium, or Melt-Your-Face-Off – Heat level is up to you — just label it clearly so our audience knows what they’re getting into.

Bring at Least 3-5 Quarts – Enough to serve 2oz samples for our crowd tastings (The people are your judges, so bring enough for a bunch of hungry tasters!)

Name Your Salsa! – We love a good pun or a spicy name. (Chunky Funk? Salsa Caliente? Holy Chip? Let it fly.)

Bring Your Own Chips OR Use What We Provide – Either way, everyone gets to dip and vote.

No Double Dipping – We will give you 2oz taster cups to hand out (for obvious reasons. We’re fun, not gross).

HOW VOTING WORKS:
Each guest gets 3 voting tokens when they arrive (free to attend and taste).
*Best Red *Best Green *Most Unique *Best Overall
They taste, they savor, they vote with their tokens (by dropping one in the box next to their favorite salsa).

Most tokens = People’s Salsa Champ of the Year!
No bribing voters with tequila shots. (Okay... maybe one. But keep it classy.)

PRIZES:

Custom GOAT trophy & $75 Gift Card to LWP
Eternal glory

All other winners in each category receive $25 Gift Cards to LWP
