Round Three

Round Three (June 25 - July 1)

-You MUST timestamp your entry photo. This is a hard rule beginning with this week. No timestamp, no vote. You only have to timestamp your completed dish photo, not multiple photos if you’re posting a set.
-The more photos you post, the better! We want to see your cooking. Detailing the cooking process/posting a recipe is encouraged (but not mandatory).
-Please use a tripname or some other way to distinguish you from the other contestants. Use the same name/signifier throughout the remainder of the competition.
-Just because you missed the first two rounds doesn’t mean you shouldn’t submit an entry! Eliminations begin after Round Five, and as long as your average score is high, you may move on to become one of the final fifteen.

Voting will be carried out in this thread. Please read the voting guidelines below.

VOTING GUIDELINES

Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet any expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The Round Three Challenge is:

Soup! Show us your best soup, using any ingredients you like. Word to the wise, use a shallower bowl for serving, so it's easier for people to see your soup. Round Three goes from June 24th to July 1st. Let's have a good challenge and don't forget your timestamps!

***While submissions for Round 2 are now now longer being accepted, we'll leave the thread (http://boards.4chan.org/ck/res/3681266) up for another 24 hours, in case you haven't had a chance to vote for some of the later entries. When you vote, please sage your post, so we don't have more than one Challenge thread on the front page. We're trying out this new extended voting style for the first time so we'll see how it goes. Thanks everyone!

Round Two Entries will be posted shortly.  Sorry for the delay on the blog post!
