RUB CONTEST JUDGING APPLICATION
Old World Spices and Seasonings, INC/BBQ Spot
Under partnership with the American Royal, Old World Spices & Seasonings/BBQ Spot is offering a potential marketing opportunity to contestants who qualify.
Old World Spices & Seasonings has worked with many of the American Royal winning BBQ teams to blend, bottle and distribute their BBQ rubs to retailers in the hardware, outdoor living, sporting goods and BBQ specialty arenas.
If your entry finishes in the top 10 of either category (Mild or Hot), you would be eligible to engage in further discussion and development of a plan for your products to be presented to buyers of national retailers such as Lowe’s, Bass Pro, Academy Sports and Ace Hardware.
Details of the opportunity would be shared with the qualifying contestants who express interest in pursuing a business partnership with Old World Spices & Seasonings. Placing in the Top 10 does not guarantee acceptance into this program, as there are multiple factors that must be considered. Placing in the Top 10 also does not obligate you to discussions with Old World Spices unless you choose. There is no cost to the contestants to participate in this program.
