I've mentioned this on the board previously but wanted to address it officially on this blog since people still ask me about competing next year. Unfortunately I won't be hosting the /ck/ Challenge again. As of right now the competition is on an indefinite hiatus.
If anyone else is interested in hosting the /ck/ Challenge or a similar type of event, feel free to email me. I will be happy to help/advise however I can.

Interview with stfuboosie !!/MEZC9Vdvfg, the winner of Season One
1. As the winner of the first ever /ck/ Challenge, you must have a unique perspective on the competition. As we're nearing the end, what has been your thoughts on this year's Challenge?
The themes have been great this year. They were more specific and more challenging. I would have LOVED to participate, I think I would have had a major run for my money. I love the added challenge of requiring a vertical. The ramen challenge could have been so much better. I think people were limiting themselves a little bit there, I wanted to see more risks in earlier rounds. They are coming out of their shells a little now though.
2. What do you think has been the biggest difference in this year and last year's competition?
More interest, more exposure. The contestants seem to banter with each other,more camaraderie (love that), the voting is being taken really seriously. There were A LOT more people who wanted to compete in this contest.
3. Last year's Challenge ended up being a marathon event that spanned over four months. I think everyone who observed it was amazed by the kind of dedication and effort it took to participate in so many rounds. Do you think this year is easier than the last because of the reduced number of rounds?
YES! But only easier in the sense that it is more manageable, I still think the themes are more challenging and I think the judging is harsher.
4. What has your favorite theme so far?
The Tapas (second only to the time warp theme those two were neck and neck!).
5. Your favorite entry?
Oh god, well frgsp made some potatoes souffles that I would love to try, but that was just part of the entry. Sir Spice's entry in the time warp challenge looked amazing. It was like something out of a magazine from the 50s. I love all of Borneo's stuff, she is hilarious- that toga, omg!
6. As the current reigning champion, any advice for the final four?
Take your time, think about what YOU would find the most delicious. Have fun with it too, stuffy food looks stuffy and unapproachable.
When I made my final entry: ok, so I really thought about this dish. I decided that I wouldn't try to appeal to the judges and "kiss their asses" with stuff they were guaranteed to like, it would have come off as trying too hard and not genuine. Try a few different things first before you go with the one dish. USE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AS TEST SUBJECTS. Let them help you decide on what to make, take influence from your own life.
I wanted my dish to be eye catching, I thought about colors first. I wanted to make a beautiful dish with lots of colors. I didn't want to use a heavy dish, I thought something a little lighter would appeal more to me and my family. I wanted something representative of where I came from, since I am familiar with Cajun and creole cooking the most. I added that element to my dish. I thought about my favorite food memories and let them influence me. Lastly I thought about how could make a classic flavor combo new and exciting, I put it in a spring roll, added a lively escabeche, and updated the boring remoulade. I also have an unhealthy obsession with party foods, appetizers, and hors d'oeuvres and I thought the Crabmeat Ravigote Spring Rolls fit the bill nicely.

We understand that May is not the greatest time (for any of us, really). We held the competition during the summertime last year and that also caused a lot of conflicts with people going on vacation, etc.. We don't think there is an ideal time to hold the /ck/ Challenge (fall with back to school, winter with the holidays, etc.) so we really appreciate everyone's efforts.

The theme of Round 8 is... Cupcakes.
We only have two more rounds left in the Challenge and considering how close everyone's cumulative scores are, we can't emphasize enough how important your performance in this round is. Give us your most creative and delicious cupcake. Unconventional (non dessert) cupcakes are allowed, so long as it has some form of "frosting". Verticals are a requirement in this round.

We're both very sorry to see the two of you leave the competition. Bubble was a finalist who placed in the top four last year and Pwiz had submitted some very outstanding entries since Round 1. We hope you will continue to participate by voting and maybe even cooking along with the remainder of the Challenge! I think it's safe to say that everyone enjoys looking at entries submitted, even if they're just for consideration.

The theme of Round 6 is... Tapas.
These small plates can be traditional and follow a a Spanish flair or interpreted in your own unique way. The only requirement in this round to create at least three different tapas dishes.
There is no penalty in this round, though the winner of the ravioli round will receive a copy of Marcella Hazan's "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking"--a must-have Italian cookbook often referred to as the "Mastering the Art" of Italian cuisine.

...and congratulations to our final contestant, Pyewacket !!uKoiN+HhkE7, who won Round 3.
We'd also like to congratulate everyone who competed in the first three rounds. The margin of eliminations were very close and in some instances came down strictly to participation--there were some really great entries submitted and we hope that you will compete next year! And, of course, keep an eye on the rest of this year's competition.

The theme of Round 4 is... Burgers.
Show us your best take on this American classic. You can create your burger with traditional beef, use turkey, go vegetarian, or dazzle us with something unique.
We're starting fresh. So your scores from the previous three rounds have been erased. Everyone is starting as equals, though your scores will be calculated on a cumulative basis after this round.

The theme of Round Three is...
Ramen!
Are we serious? Yes. Dead. We suffer through multiple ramen threads on a daily basis on /ck/. So for this round, create a ramen dish worth eating, as well as creating an informative vertical to post in our booru. Creating a vertical for this round *is* a Challenge Goal and your scores will be affected if you neglect to submit a vertical along with your dish.
This is a "desperation" round. Whoever wins Round 3 will automatically place in the final fifteen. If you haven't submitted anything in the previous two rounds you can still move forward in this competition if you win the Ramen challenge.
Good luck!
