People's Choice : The public will be the judges for the People's Choice Award by dropping off voting tickets in your bucket. Each voting ticket is worth $1.00 that will go to the Holmen Community Center fundraiser. The most voting tickets in a team's bucket will win the People's Choice Award, "Bragging Rights" and cash
prize of $100.

Judge's Choice: There will be a blind judges panel consisting of 3 judges that will be looking for appearance, creativity of presentation and taste. Each team will receive a number to be on their tasting cups. Once the team hands in their Mac & Cheese to the organizer, their number will be changed so the judges will not see any identification of the team. There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place cash prizes determined by the judges. First place will receive $100, 2nd place $50, and 3rd place $25.

Public admission is $8 for adults and $5 for children 5 –17, children under the age of 4 are free – so invite family, friends, and neighbors to watch you in action. The more people you know and invite to help raise money for the Holmen Area Community Center, the better your chances are of winning People's Choice!
