Our take written by Chili Times
Chili Times lists sanctioned chili cook-offs from the two sanctioning bodies whose listings we use, the International Chili Society and the Chili Appreciation Society International. Our count: 39 upcoming cook-offs, 30 of them covered across 22 cook-off pages that show entry fees, categories, prizes and what visitors can expect.
For cooks, the entry fee calculator adds up a cook-off's printed category fees, and the rules pages quote each body's rule book on beans, fillers and membership. For visitors, each cook-off page quotes the tasting hours and ticket prices where the listing prints them.
Our introduction to the pages linked here; each one quotes its sanctioning body.
