Recipe entries may be submitted for any menu part appetizer, soup, salad, entrée or even dessert and must include a Maple Leaf Farms duck product. Entrants may submit up to three recipes with accompanying photos. Contest submissions will be judged on the recipe and its preparation, originality and creativity of the recipe, visual appeal of the final prepared dish, and overall taste (Round II judging).

Entrants have a chance to win one of three top prizes. The grand prize winning entry will be awarded $5,000 and free Maple Leaf Farms duck products for a year; first runner-up $2,500; and second runner-up $1,000.
