Think you have the best Chili in Crested Butte? Enter the Chili Cook-Off. Prizes will be awarded to the winners for Best International Chili Society Red Chili (that’s no beans or fillers), Anything Goes (just like the name says, anything goes), Green Chili and Vegetarian Chili (with no meat or meat stock). There will also be a prize for the Best Professional Entry, and for Best Table Decoration.

Entry into the Cook-Off Contest is FREE, and cook-off participants also receive FREE entry into the Fall Festival of Beers! Here’s how it works- cook up 3 gallons of your best stuff in advance. We will provide the table, tent, and serving cups (unless you have your own you that would like to bring). All entries must be received by Thursday, September 8th to be included on the ballots and be eligible for prizes. Please note—contestants won’t have access to electricity so gas burning or Coleman type stoves will be necessary.
