All participants, including individuals and organizations, must comply with public health regulations and legal requirements in order to sell their products throughout the day.

In past years, most challengers sold over 600 sandwiches each and many ran out of food - so don't be caught short of supplies!
Judging is done in secret, with judges blind tasting and scoring the sandwiches. At any time, a sandwich purchased could be served to a judge, so bring your best every time! Final scores are based on the totals from each judge’s scoring sheet.
Winners will be announced at the Great Lakes Brewery Entertainment Zone at 5:00 PM. Prize distribution to follow.
Please send us an email. All prizes must be new and full value. Coupons or 2 for ones not permitted. We are happy to promote donators on our website and through social media.
