Best Answer

Having set up several area cook-offs, try the following:

  1. Check local ordinance to see if such gatherings are permitted and requirements.
  2. Set a date.
  3. Secure all permits necessary
  4. Secure one or more sponsors, nonprofit organizations are great for this, churches as well and most churches have a ready made venue.
  5. Secure volunteers to help before, during, and after the event.
  6. Secure funding. Registration fees, and tickets help, but will not cover all costs.
  7. Set up printing and media announcements.
  8. Cover the local community with flyers. Talk to local TV and radio stations and get mentioned on the air.
  9. Get support from local businesses.
  10. Get tents, plates, flatware, napkins, trash services, and all other needed materials ready for the event.
  11. Print banners and set graphics.

There are other steps, but securing a sponsor or sponsors is key to success. Decide from the beginning whether you will permit restaurants to compete, and set all rules before you begin.

If you're looking at this to raise money, hold a raffle instead. If you are trying to establish a tradition, excellent choice, eventually it will pay off, just not especially in a financial way.
