All you have to do is win the annual Wazzu Stew Cook-Off at Washington State University on Saturday, Oct. 25. The contest is part of the annual Land Grant Day celebration of WSU's College of Agriculture and Home Economics. The contest is open to all and there is no entry fee.
Rules are few.
Except for condiments, contestants must use ingredients that could be grown or raised in Washington, such as potatoes, apples, and beef. Use your imagination. Recipes must be original and two quarts of stew must be made and entered. Stews will be judged on the basis of flavor, texture, appearance, originality, commodities and cooking ease. Entries must be dropped off in a crockpot at room 155 of the Food Science and Human Nutrition Building by 9 a.m. on the day of the contest.
