Foodista.com invites its readers and the food blogging community to submit their favourite classic dishes, with recipes, writing, and photographs. The contest will run for 3 months to find the best of the best in food bloggers and recipes; the winners will be published in this collection. Foodista will promote the competition on its web site, providing links to bloggers, as submissions are made. Foodista will assess submissions based on: 1) uniqueness and quirkiness of the voice; 2) new technique or new interpretation of a classic recipe; 3) quality and impact of photography. Each winning entry will include a blog post, recipe and photo.
