Just bring your hot sauce in some sort of clean container please clearly mark the container with your name and phone number (please read the rules below about clean containers).


On a separate paper with your name and phone number clearly marked at the top please submit a weighted ingredient list for the sauce. The ingredient with the highest percentage by weight should appear first the ingredient with the lowest percentage should appear last. If possible please list the type of chili used and what percentage is used.


The first round of Judging by our experts will take place on Saturday 25th September in private where our judges will narrow it down to the top 10 best sauces.


The final competition will be by audience vote on the day of the festival all sauces will be tasted blind and everyone attending the festival will be asked to pick their top 3 sauces on a voting form the sauce with the highest vote wins.


How it is judged :


Our experts will be marking the sauce out of 10 in five categories:


– Aroma / nose

– Use of chilis/heat profile*

– Flavour / palate

– Creativity / individuality / memorability

– Finish / aftertaste / afterburn


*hotter does not mean a higher score we are looking for a well-balanced hot sauce.


the sauces will be tasted blind at first and then the judges will get a chance to see the list of ingredients before their final decisions Judges will not know the name of the maker of each sauce.


The audience vote on the day will be in a blind taste test in numbered uniform containers so nobody knows who sauce is whos.


The winners will be announced at the end of the Berlin Chili Festival on Sunday 26th September at 9pm.


Rules:


1. you must have made the hot sauce yourself! Family recipes etc. are allowed.

2. Non-commercial sauces only.
