Entry Deadline is July 14th
Atlanta (PRWEB) June 15, 2006 -- The entry deadline for the second annual “Edwards® Invent Your Own Indulgence” recipe contest, which kicked off April 1st nationwide, is Friday, July 14, 2006. This year’s Grand Prize winner and a lucky guest will indulge themselves for a week in New York City – complete with an airport limousine service, a luxury hotel, and more. The Georgia-based Edwards, known for its best-selling Key Lime, Lemon Meringue and Georgia Pecan pies is sponsoring the contest.
The “Invent Your Own Indulgence” contest showcases original desserts made with Edwards products. Recipes are judged on taste, ease of preparation, creativity, and appearance. All contestants must submit a written description and color photograph of their creation and meet the participation requirements. Last year’s favorites included “Georgia Pecan Sweet Potato Delight” by Grand Prize winner Bonnie Hicks of Lancaster, Ohio (who used Edwards Georgia Pecan Pie); “Key Lime Tiramisu” by Elise Lalor of Issaquah, Washington (who incorporated Edwards Key Lime Pie); and “Temptational Key Lime Macaroon Pops” from Susan Scarborough of Fernandina Beach, Florida (who also chose Edwards Key Lime Pie).
The contest features three rounds of judging. Awards will be presented to a Grand Prize winner, three Finalists and twelve Semi-finalists. Each winner receives a prize ranging from a $300 Williams-Sonoma® gift certificate to the New York City Grand Prize. While in New York, the winner will receive spending money plus tickets to a Food Network television show. The three finalists each win a Getaway Package to Atlanta where they’ll re-create their indulgent recipes for the judges. While supplies last, everyone who enters the contest will receive a coupon for a free Edwards pie.
