Cape Town - Entries for the 2016 Championship Boerewors competition are now open.
The Shoprite and Checkers’ Championship Boerewors competition will remain open until Friday, 2 June 2016.
Last year, the public voted for their favourite recipe in a Top 3 showdown. This year entrants will battle it out in six Champion Rounds taking place on Saturdays, 2 and 9 July in major city centres nationwide, according to a press release.
Eighteen contestants (three from each of these events) will be selected to compete in the final round in Cape Town on July 23, where the nation’s top three recipes will be chosen.
The top three recipes will be available for consumers to buy, braai and then vote for their favourite from August 19 to September 9. The votes will be audited and the winner of the 2016 Championship Boerewors competition will be revealed on September 15.
Anyone with an exceptional traditional boerewors recipe and the skills to make their boerewors from scratch is encouraged to enter.
The boerewors champion stands in line to win a brand new Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 Double Cab Raised Body Raider as well as the honour of having their recipe crowned and sold as SA’s Best Boerewors.
The South African Chefs Association will take charge of the judging processes and will be making sure that all entries adhere to the guidelines for making truly traditional boerewors.
