2026 NEEWOLLAH DESSERT CONTEST RULES

REGISTRATION and GENERAL INFORMATION

All contestants must pre-register by submitting a completed entry form, a signed copy of the event rules, and paying the entry fee of $5 payable to Neewollah Inc. Contestants may enter more than one dessert, but each additional dessert will require a separate entry form and entry fee. Please designate if the dessert needs to be “kept cold”. We can place the dessert container on a bed of ice, but we do not have refrigeration. Please plan your dessert entry accordingly.

The completed entry form, signed rules, and the fee is due by Wednesday, October 21st.

There are no mandatory ingredients, but all desserts must be baked. All desserts must be promptly checked in at the Dessert Contest Tent at 10 am on Saturday, October 24th.

NEEWOLLAH DESSERT CONTEST

The public may purchase a choice of 3 sample-size desserts of their choice for $3. The dessert sample sales will begin at 11:00am and continue until 2pm unless all dessert samples sell before that time. The Neewollah Chili Competition and Dessert Contest Chairpersons and committee members will NOT be responsible for lost, broken, or damaged containers, non-edible decorations, or serving utensils presented by the contestants. All containers and non-edible decorations will be discarded unless otherwise indicated by the contestant during the dessert check-in process. Those contestants wanting their containers and/or non-edible decorations returned must have their name, address, and phone number clearly labeled on the container. All containers and/or non-edible decorations will be available for pick up at the Dessert Tent after 2pm. Any containers or non-edible decorations not claimed by 3pm will be discarded.

JUDGING CRITERIA

  • All desserts must be promptly checked in at the Dessert Contest Tent at 10 am. Late entries will not be accepted.
  • Judging of desserts will begin promptly at 10:30am.
  • All dessert entries will be blind judged by a selected panel of community members.
  • Dessert judging will be based on 3 criteria, each of which will be scored on a scale of 1-10. These scores, when added together, will give a final score. The desserts with the 3 highest scores will be deemed the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. In the event of a tie, a “taste off” will occur, and the tie will be broken.

The 3 judging criteria are:

  • Taste: Above all else, taste is the most important factor.
  • Presentation: The overall appearance of the dessert. Does it look so good you can hardly wait to try a bite?
  • Creativity: Does the dessert follow the Neewollah theme?

PRIZES
