Smolak Farms Pie Recipe Contest

Do you make a great pie? Then wants you to prove it.

The popular local farm and bakery is seeking your recipe for your most delicious pie. The lucky winner will be filmed by how2heroes and featured on the Web site making their pie.

The winning pie will also be featured on NECN's "TV Diner with Billy Costa." If fame and glory aren't enough, the winner will also receive a certificate to the Smolak Farms farm stand, and the winning recipe will appear on the Smolak Farms Pie Menu for the entire month of December.

The top five selected pies will be recreated in the Smolak Farms “Test Kitchen” and judged by a panel of representatives from how2heroes, TV Diner and Smolak Farms.

You must be 21 years of age or older to enter. Bakers need to submit a pie recipe and photo of their pie to inform@smolakfarms.com with the subject "Smolak Farms Pie Recipe Contest." All entries must be received via Web site, mail or email by midnight on Nov. 21. The winner will be announced on Nov. 24.

Each pie entry will be judged on the following criteria:

Overall Appearance of pie and recipe: Crust, filling and appeal.

Overall Appearance of Photo: Atmosphere and overall appeal, impressiveness and creativity (based on originality).

The judging criteria will be based on a 0-9 point system for each of the above categories. All category points will be added to determine the winners. In the event of a tie, the judges will re-judge the pies/photos until a winner is decided. Each recipe must include U.S. standard measurements, complete preparation instructions, cooking time and temperatures, number of servings, size of pans and any special utensils or cookware.
