Noon to whenever
Entry deadline is 2pm
Details:
The Guac Off is a pot luck picnic and guacamole contest. Other activities include cut-throat (and/or half-assed) croquet games, secret drinking, lounging in the shade, and Frisbee playing. Babies and puppies welcome and encouraged.
If not bringing guac, please bring other food or drink to share with your fellow judges. We will be in the east side of Ft. Greene Park, near Cumberland Street and Washington Park (map). If you can't find us, call Phillip’s cell: 646 342 2969.
Contest Rules:
Any guacamole may enter, and there is no entry fee. The only requirement is that you must enter your guacamole for judging no later than 2pm. Entries after 2pm may be enjoyed by all, but are not eligible for the contest. The guacamoles will be assigned a number and arranged in identical bowls to best preserve the anonymity of the guac-makers and the guac-pureness of the contest.
Everyone in attendance is a judge. You will be given two votes. You can vote for two different guacs or give both your votes to one guac.
Around 3pm the votes will be counted. First and second place trophies will be awarded. In the event of a tie, there will be sudden death re-voting between the tied guacs.
Totes and T-Shirts:
We're silkscreening some grocery totes, and selling them for ten dollars to cover the costs off the guac-off. They will look sort of like this:
We can make t-shirts, too. If you want a t-shirt, e-mail us the size and color you would like by Friday morning, and we'll make an American Apparel run. Please reimburse us our costs.
