The finalist recipes will then be prepared and judged on the basis of taste (1-50 points), creativity (1-15 points), ease of preparation (1-15 points), appearance (1-10 points), and nutritional balance (1-10 points). The top recipes' essays will also be judged on the basis of relevance to theme (1-10 points), creative expression (1-10 points), and clarity (1-10 points).
Note that at the time of this writing, the entire set of rules was not visible, so the judging criteria is taken from the 2010 contest.
