Are you really creative when it comes to creating interesting new food combinations? Would you like to make some money cooking, not to mention earning some fame and recognition for your abilities in the kitchen?<\/p>\n

Then maybe entering recipes contests might be for you!<\/p>\n

Each year hundreds of companies host competitions for creating recipes using their products. It\u2019s a great way to raise awareness of a particular food, like the Gnarly Head Ribs Recipe Contest<\/a> or a cooking style, like the Healthy Your Way Recipe Contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips on how you can become an \u201cAward-winning\u201d recipe creator:<\/p>\n

Know the deadline:<\/b> Most recipe competitions have a specific deadline that you have to submit before. Miss it and your recipe won\u2019t even be considered.<\/p>\n

Make sure you\u2019re eligible<\/b>: Some cooking contests are only for individuals of a specific state, age group or subscribers of the sponsoring magazine. Know who can win before you spend the time creating.
\n
\n<\/b>Don\u2019t submit something you found on the Internet<\/b>: If it is not yours, don\u2019t enter it. If you started with a standard recipe and changed it, you should be ok.<\/p>\n

Include a photo<\/b>: Food always looks better in a photo than on a list of ingredients and directions. Show your food off for the recipe judges and you\u2019ll increase your chances to win.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Know what the prize is<\/b>:\u00a0 A recipe contest with a $5,000 first prize will have a lot more competition than one with a $500 prize or a Kindle for the winner. All are fun to win, but expect the bigger the prize, the more work you will have to put in to have a winning recipe entry.<\/p>\n

Have fun<\/b>: At the end of the day, you want to have fun making new recipes and entering recipe contests. Remember, I don\u2019t know anyone who makes a living at winning recipe competitions.<\/p>\n

Save your recipes: You might only select one of two recipes to submit to a particular recipe competition, but you might stumble across several recipes that your family and friends may love. Use FamilyCookbookProject.com<\/a> to store your recipes and pull them up later when it\u2019s time to feed your family something new!<\/p>\n
