Can we just say?? The Top 16 from our February art contest are seasoned to perfection!
The prompt for February was: Yeti cooked with flare and secret spices as the aroma wafted through the air! (And yes, we actually meant FLAIR, but we didn’t catch that typo originally 😂)
Our contestants came up with so many delectable dishes, we got hungry just looking at them (except for the ones featuring humans as the main dish of course 😅). Some even cooked with actual FLARE despite our typo! A big thank you to all who submitted!
The winners were picked during Critique Arena, our monthly live event for members. Our judges seeded the top 16 against each other, and the audience voted for their faves. Sixteen battled it out in the arena, but only 2 made the final cut!
You can experience all the drama in the recording of the event, which you can watch now in the subscription. But in the meantime here are the two winning entries:
Winner! By Matt Oberdier.
Winner! By Melissa Bailey.
This is the first time on the podium for BOTH Matt and Melissa! And they were up against some seasoned veterans💪You just never know what is going to happen in the Critique Arena!
And here are the rest of the entries that made the sweet 16 (hello to all the newbies!👋):
Great work everyone, chef’s kiss to you!!
