Designs may be sent electronically in a standard graphic format (PDF or JPG) or may be a hard copy, suitable for scanning.
Pictures of last year’s winners and sponsor logos will be made available and must be added to the poster design before printing. Changes to the wording and design may be requested by the Board.
If selected, the artwork becomes the sole property of CASI and the Terlingua International Chili Championship and may or may not be used in any manner CASI desires. The winning designer will receive credit with their name included on the final product.
Submission deadline will be June 20th. Entries must be sent to Janice Miller, 3014 Oak Mountain Trail, San Angelo, TX 76904 or garjans@suddenlink.net. Winning entries will be chosen at the Board of Directors Meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 27, 2008.

All chili cooks will receive free entry to the Barn Dance that evening as well. And if you still need those last few points, we will have a cook off on Sunday with a noon turn in. Chili grind only all three days – indoor cooking is available. Gates open at 8 am Friday morning….plenty of RV Parking – no hook ups. Please bring your own tables (the Expo Center is unable to provide the cooks with tables this year) as well as throwdown chili for the concession stand. This three day cook off benefits the Ellis Co.

The Blue Knights will be out there once again putting on the Silent Auction and there will be activities for the kiddies. We will also be raffling off a Wendell Rankin stove on Saturday as well as liquor and wine baskets for any of you needing a last minute Valentines gift or a way out of (or into if you can’t behave!!!) the doghouse. Please call or email with any questions mail to: kbrignon-tbdemo@sbcglobal.net or 469.628.8840. Come on out and stay all three days – we’re going to have a great time!!!!!” (Kelly Brignon)

It can all be washed down with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, orange juice or a chilly glass of milk.

Vendors are welcomed to set up for a $20.00 donation and donate one item for the raffle. And if you are not a cook, but love to eat, come out and be a judge.

Already some vendors who plan to attend will bring a host of crafted items that include hats, purses, charms, belts, and a variety of décor.
The weather is supposed to be gorgeous this weekend so as the friendliest folks in the Texas Hill Country host Blanco Cooks for the Cure Chili and BBQ Cook Off, the public is invited to participate all weekend. Our event will take place in Blanco, Texas at Yett Memorial Park on February 6, 7 and 8th. We are hoping this event will help raise funds towards the Cure and help support the local economy at the same time. Rain or shine won’t matter to these cooks.
