The Biggest Snack Competition in America is happening right here in the Blue Water Area. The August 1st deadline for registering to compete in the MI New Favorite Snack contest is coming up quickly, and the excitement is building.
The winner will be announced on September 17th at the Vantage Point Farmer’s Market by longtime Detroit area television broadcaster Chuck Gaidica. So far, 26 snack makers have registered. Entrepreneurs must be from Michigan.
Anyone can check out the current registrants by going to the @MINewFavoriteSnack page on Facebook. Some of the contestants tell their stories and introduce their products. There is a wide variety of snack foods already entered into the contest.
Thelma Castillo, CEO and President of the Blue Water Area Chamber, which is one of the hosting organizations for MI New Favorite Snack said, “We wanted to give these small business entrepreneurs some promotional opportunity to tell their unique stories. These individuals all have compelling products that are truly a passion for them. It’s been fun to ‘meet’ them virtually.”
There is $50,000 in prize money for the top snack makers and a distribution agreement with All-Star Services for the winner.
