As I mentioned in my last post, Bella Ninja (aka, Paula of bell’alimento), Salty Ninja (aka, Linda of Salty Seattle), and I (Fuji Ninja!) have formed a dangerous Food Ninja trio to give you the opportunity of sharing your Food Ninja skills with the world!
Starting today (until October 24th, 2010 at 10pm PST), you can submit your pictures, blog posts, videos, recipes, etc. of you exhibiting true food ninja skill. You DO NOT have to be a blogger to enter—you just have to be a Food Ninja! You can enter a maximum of one entry in each category. Anyone who submits an entry will get to proudly display their Food Ninja status with an awesome Food Ninja badge that we will send you (available in a variety of colors). So c’mon, come and get your ninja on with us! This is NOT something that you want to miss out on! Voting will take place between October 25th through the 27th, and then we will announce the winners on October 28th. Entries will go into one of 5 categories:
- Ninja Recipe
- Ninja Photo
- Ninja Video
- Ninja Blog Post
- Ninja Wildcard (This can be ANYTHING! G0 crazy!)
The winner of each category will be receiving an amazing prize! Bella Ninja, Salty Ninja, and I hand picked each prize because we believe they are all things that should be in a Food Ninja’s arsenal. We then crossed our fingers and hoped that producers of these prizes would be willing to be prize sponsors. Well, they must all have the true Food Ninja Spirit, because they all agreed! You’ll be hearing more about the prizes later, but just so you know what they are:
