As part of an event that we're having on June 30th and July 1st we're creating a contest where we would like to get 3 or 4 top tier chefs to compete for a title. We already have press coverage approved and are close to closing on radio coverage as well. What we're not sure of is what kind of prize or recognition would appeal to these chefs. We are consulting with one "celebrity" chef who is very excited about the project but was wondering if any of you had any ideas.

I was thinking along the lines of media coverage and recognition as well as perhaps a cash prize.

Business recognition, not personal recognition. Competing Chefs are either owners/partners or have the owner's blessing to compete.

Prizes? Caah purse wouild be best, but usually sposors provide the prizes and very little choice is given.
