Voting & Judging
A panel of Jewish Home resident judges will choose twelve recipes that will be submitted for online voting and selection of the contest winner.
The top twelve recipes will be posted on the Jewish Home Recipe Contest Voting Page. Finalists will be notified of their selection by e-mail; winners will be notified by phone.
Beginning on March 17, 2010, visitors to the Voting Page may sign in and vote for their favorite from the final twelve. The top online vote-getter will be awarded the Grand Prize. Our panel of resident judges will also select winners in three categories from the entire pool of entries: Best Sweet, Best Savory, and Most Creative.
