The Master Garlic Chef Competition encourages garlic enthusiasts from Canada and the U.S. to submit their original recipes to the Festival Committee by April 15, 2007. A panel of chefs and food professionals will pick the top 3 entries, based on originality and use of garlic.

Cook-off date will be August 12, 2007, the second and final day of the Festival. The cook-off will be judged by a panel selected by the Committee. The winner will become the first MASTER GARLIC CHEF. First prize for this event is $500, second prize is $250, and third prize is $100. Hotel accommodations for the contestants will be provided by the Festival.

The Festival's mission is to strengthen the community's position as a desirable holiday destination by providing visitors with a World Class Celebration of the Stinking Rose. All Festival net proceeds are distributed to non-profit organizations in the South Cariboo area.
