2.    Please be sure to read the contest rules prior to sending in your products. Also ensure that you include the division(s) each sauce is entered into with your package.
3.    We are dedicated to promoting our small batch hot sauce industry. We have weekly YouTube videos that could someday be promoting your sauce. Go to “Hot Sauce Grotto” "Tasting Notes" on YouTube and subscribe. If you have a paragraph or two of what you would want people to know about your company or sauces or even promotional material, you'd like us to use to help promote your business, please include them with your sauces when you send them in. I have been asked numerous times what size -Shirt I wear. It's 2X. There is no guarantee your sauces will be on the show but we will certainly make an effort to get every company who enters on it.
4. We are starting a new show on the Hot Sauce Grotto channel called "Old Boney's Fresh Batch" where we highlight new sauces you are promoting. If you have a new sauce that you have produced in the last year, or you have one coming out that you want to promote, please be sure to send us an extra bottle along with the highlights of the sauce and we'll line it up for the show! A goal of ours is to promote your business as best we can!
5.    The "World's Favorite Label" competition is back again this year. It will be completed in a “bracket” format where judges will whittle down all entries ultimately to the round of 8. In the round of 8, all hot sauce companies will decide who the final 4 contestants are. The top 4 will be voted on by the PEOPLE at our  People's Choice event along with our People’s Choice hot sauce finalists.  Please make sure you included the most favorable pictures of the sauce labels you'd like entered in the label contest. The top 3 favorite individual bottle labels will earn a trophy and a title. "PEOPLE'S CHOICE WORLD'S FAVORITE LABEL". Everyone in the world will have the opportunity to vote on the top 4 labels.
