Have you ever thought about entering one of the BBQ Brethren Throwdowns but felt like you were either too new to the Brethren, or perhaps felt that some of the regulars made dishes too good for you to compete against? Or perhaps you have tried your hand at a Throwdown or two but despite your valiant efforts your dish was blown away by one of the regulars who entered a dish that would have made Julia Child cry?
THEN THIS THROWDOWN IS FOR YOU!
This Throwdown will be limited to those who have only participated in 3 Throwdowns or fewer (based on the date of this post). If you are unsure if you qualify, just ask and I will let you know.
This will be an
OPEN CATEGORY, meaning any dish will be accepted as long as it adheres to the following rules:
1. The item must be Grilled or Smoked during the cooking process, or feature Grilled or Smoked ingredients in a prominent manner.
2. Submitted dishes must be cooked between Today (11/22) and Friday 12/31.
3. All pics (any number) must be submitted by Midnight Central Time on January 2nd (extra couple of days are being allowed for those who will be out of town or otherwise indisposed due to the New Year).
4. You can make multiple entries into this Throwdown if you like. Just like at a bash, I would not expect people to share only one dish, but any number of dishes they would like to share.
5. You are allowed to touch up your photos for clarity, or to add the dish/item to a more interesting background if you like.
6. By posting your photos, you are granting consent for your photo to be reused for other BBQ Brethren related postings or materials.
7. Any joke photos, or photos of past creations you wish to show off must have a disclaimer stating that the photo is not intended to be included in the Vote thread.
8. If you have any problems with any of the entries, believing them not to be qualified for any reason, DO NOT COMPLAIN TO ME! Instead, please use the ***VOTE*** thread and exercise your power of voting against those entries. Any complaints posted in any Throwdown thread, or directed to me via any other means will be ignored.
9. If I find an entry to have violated these simple rules, I reserve the right to disqualify that entry.
10. As at any neighborhood block party, the kids are present and part of the festivities, so please keep your posts family friendly.
11. Since this is a virtual online bash, I expect everyone to have fun, but also remember there are kids around. Anyone caught not having fun will be asked to leave until they are fun again.
Best of luck to all who enter!
