Eating Comps

To enter please register at drinks/information stand

The competitions throughout the festival are open to anyone over 18 ( except Kids Corn Challenge which is 10 to 16 with parent/guardian).   Contestants must register at the drinks/information stand.  This can be done any time from opening to just prior to the start of the relevant competition.  There is a limit of ten contestants per event.   MC’d by The Russ Kellet.

Captain Chilli has three heats (two on Saturday and one on Sunday) and the final is on Sunday afternoon. Final three in each heat will go through to the final – free entry on the Sunday for Saturday winners.  Each heat (and final) involves eating raw hot chillis.  The heat increases incrementally until we get to our hottest chilli.  Then we move onto chilli sauces and chilli oils in ever increasing heat levels.  Last three standing (heats), person standing (final) wins.

Shot n Holler requires contestants to skull a shot of tequila with a shot of super hot sauce and then ‘Holler’. Audience will vote by applause for the best holler.

The Stinger wing eating race is a wing eating race in the same style as the classic food races of USA but with the addition of a numbing hot chilli sauce.  Each contestant is given five or so chicken wings covered in hot sauce.  First to eat all the meat off the wings, wins!  Bones must be clean of all chicken!

Kids Corn Challenge is in response to the large number of young people wanting to be part of the event.  It consists of a race to eat two corn cobs covered with sweet chilli sauce – sweet with just a little bite.  Open to kids between 10 and 16 years old.  Must have parent or guardian present.
