Non-ICS Official Rules
The general public will be purchasing “all you can eat” wrist bands and tasting kits at the eventto help raise money for our charities. Each competing Restaurant and Corporate team must prepare a minimum of 10 gallons of their best chili. There are no rules governing ingredients or color and you may prepare your chili on site, at the event or in advance at any location of your choice. Regardless of where you prepare your chili, it must be temperature hot and ready to serve to the public at 5:30pm sharp.
The only acceptable method for heating chili at the venue is with propane gas or Sternos. You will need to provide your own propane and heating source. There will be no electricity available. We will provide you with a list of health department rules governing cleanliness and sanitation prior to the event. We will have several hand wash stations at the event.
Public Taster Samples.
Taster kits will be sold to the public to help raise money for our charities. Corporate Teams will be required to provide a minimum of 10 gallons of chili to give away as public taster samples. This chili may be prepared on site the day of the cookoff or off site prior to the cookoff and reheated for the public. Chili ingredients must be from licensed and inspected sources (no wild game allowed). Cookoff staff will come to each team’s tent to verify they have the required amount of taster sample chili. Any team that does not have the required amount will be disqualified from the competition and will not be eligible for any prize money or awards.
The general public will begin tasting chili at 5:30pm. If you start serving earlier than that time you will be disqualified. The public will have tickets in their tasting kits and will use those tickets to vote for their favorite chili. Chili will be served to the public in 2-ounce portions. Each tasting kit sold to the thegeneral public will have five 2oz tasting cups. The Kiwanis Club of Tulsa will provide you with a 1/2oz ladle and a supply of additional 2oz tasting cups for individuals who run out. It’s really simple: the chili with the most votes wins. Chili tasting will end when all the chili is gone or 8:00 pm, whichever comes first. The tickets will be collected and counted at 8:00 pm and the awards will be presented from the Guthrie Green Main Stage at 9:00 pm
Only people wearing an official Chili on the Green Wristband will be allowed to vote for the People’s Choice Award. Also, please keep in mind this is a charity fundraising event. We need you to help us by encouraging the general public to purchase wrist bands and tasting kits. Tasting kits are 1 for $10, 2 for $15 and a family pack of 4 for $20.

Best Booth Award
To make the event more fun we will be awarding $1000 for the best decorated booth. Chili OnThe Green officials will solicit volunteers from the general public on the day of the event to form a secret panel of judges who will then be tasked with selecting the best decorated booth. All chili booths (corporate, restaurant and ICS competitive) will be eligible for this award, so the competition will be stiff! Keep in mind that the more fun or crazy your booth is, the more people it will attract. The more people you attract, the better your chances are for winning the coveted Best Booth award. Make it fun, but it must be family friendly. Any booth deemed un appropriate will be shut down and removed from the competition.
