Raise your hand if you’ve been waiting for this announcement all year. Okay, now put your hand down and scroll to take a look at the 2017 Big Tex Choice Awards semi-finalists.
According to the release:
Over the next several weeks, the second round of preliminary judging will begin and these edible creations will have to prove to the panel of judges that they are just as delicious as they sound. The tasting round consists of judging each semi-finalist on, at minimum, four main ingredients of a finalist-worthy concoction: uniqueness, presentation, creativity and, of course, taste. The judges will also have to defend their rankings against the seemingly simple yet crucial question – how likely is a fairgoer to actually buy the item? By mid-August, anticipation will be at an ultimate high when the Fair-food finalists are announced! With the addition of a third winning category, the number of finalists has also increased. This year, the top 10 entries will compete in the final round. Even if your cuisine of choice falls short, concessionaires can still choose to introduce their food at their stand as a “new food” during this year’s State Fair.
The Big Tex Choice Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, August 27 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $100 and will be available here.
