If you think you make the world's best chili, best chili verde (green chili), or best salsa, we invite you to compete in the 2012 South Carolina Chili Cook-off Championship as either an official ICS competitor or a People's Choice competitor. It's your chance at fame, fortune, more than $1000 in cash prizes, and the most beautiful trophy you'll ever see. Prizes are also awarded for Best Vendor Booth and Best Showmanship for exemplary displays of enthusiasm, team spirit, and creativity.

Proceeds from our event go to the Belton Area Museum Association, the Belton Center for the Arts, and the Belton Interfaith Ministry Association, nonprofit organizations that provide wonderful services to our community. Our drink vendor for 2012 is Family Promise of Anderson County; all beverage sales will be handled by this vital organization that provides lodging, food, child care, transportation, and support services for homeless families. 

The Upstate Chili Cook-off is a terrific opportunity to get to know your neighbors. We encourage local churches and nonprofits to be a part of this community-wide event by selling baked goods, jellies and jams, cook books, or handing out information about your activities and services. Local business owners and artisans are also invited to reserve a booth to showcase your wares and make people aware of the products and services you offer.

The South Carolina Chili Cook-off Championship is one of the Southeast's fastest growing family events. Whether you come to cook, taste, listen to the music, host a booth, stroll the streets, sponsor us, or sit and visit, we hope you'll join us for a day of fun for the whole family. See you on the square on April 14th, 2012!

 

The SC Chili Cook-off Championship is a not-for-profit organization. 

  

 

** The International Chili Association is a non profit organization that sanctions chili cooks with judging and cooking rules and regulations. These events are world wide and benefit charities or non profit organizations. All winners of ICS sanctioned cook-offs qualify to compete for cash prizes and awards at the "World Championship Chili Cook off" held each year in October. The ICS is the largest food contest festival organization in the world."

 

HOT TIP: Need to cure a cold? Eat a raw chili pepper, which has more than three times as much Vitamin C as an orange. Chili peppers can also lower blood pressure, relieve migraine and sinus headaches, and have been proven to kill prostate cancer cells!
