WINNER SELECTION/JUDGING CRITERIA: Entries meeting eligibility and entry requirements will be judged by an independent judging firm and/or members of the Red Robin Marketing Team, Red Robin Food and Beverage Team and guest judges, who may be celebrities or individuals with culinary training (“Contest Judges”). The judging to determine Restaurant Winners will occur in two stages: first, the recipe will be judged and, second, if the recipe scores well, the essay will be judged. The entry with the highest combined ranking from each restaurant will be named the Restaurant Winner. Recipes will be judged on the following equally weighted criteria: originality/creativity of recipe, taste appeal of ingredients and preparation, appropriateness of burger name and ability of recipe to be executed in Red Robin® restaurants. Essays will be judged based on the following equally weighted criteria: originality of essay message, essay's expression of enthusiasm and quality of writing. Judging at the National Competition to determine the National Winner, and the First, Second and Third Place finishers, in addition to each Entrant's recipe and essay being re-judged, will also include judging the presentation of the Entrant's prepared burger. As entries advance, the judging criteria will not change except as mentioned above during the National Competition. Judging to determine Restaurant Winners will occur between July 2, and August 19, 2008. Judging to determine Finalist Winners will occur between August 20 and September 26, 2008.
