Finalists have been selected for the "Strut Your Duck" Video Recipe Contest
Our panel of judges has selected 11 finalists from Round I Judging. (We had a tie, so we added a finalist!) Video recipe finalists will move on to Round II Judging where a chef will prepare the recipes for the judging panel to taste. Three winners will then be selected to win cash prizes, and will be notified on Sept. 15, then posted on this website and the contest site (memelabs.com/mapleleaffarmsduck).
Thanks again to all who entered and voted!
