Please note that while your recipe is undergoing review, it is not yet considered a valid entry into the contest.

Once your recipe is reviewed, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address you supplied on the registration form.  If your recipe complies with the Official Rules, this confirmation email will state that your submission has been accepted as an approved entry into the contest.  If your recipe is not accepted as an approved entry, the email will detail the reasons why your recipe was declined.

Only your first five approved submissions are accepted into the contest.  If you have fewer than five approved and you received a rejection email, fix what is wrong and resubmit it.  Once submitted, it will go through the approval process again.  If it is approved, it will be counted as another approved submission.
