    There is no entry fee for contestants and winners will receive cash prizes and trophies. Competition is limited to 18 entries. Pre-registration is required and contestant entry applications are due to the Manitou Chamber by 5 p.m. on Friday, January 23rd. Gumbo categories will be amateur and professional.
