Texture Technologies' Annual Video Contest
Video Contest Information
Texture Technologies holds annual video competitions for US and Canadian Universities to raise awareness, through the use of energetic video productions, of the importance of texture analysis to the food industry.
The deadline for this year's submissions was June 3, 2011
The prizes range from $250 to $2,500 as flows: 1st Prize is awarded $2,500, 2nd Prize is awarded $1,000, 3rd Prize is awarded $500, and 4th & 5th Prizes each win $250.
The contest is limited to college and university participants so, while we love what Claussen Pickles did, corporations and food manufacturers are not eligible to participate.
If you and your team have what it takes to win this, please download the submission form, rules, and regulations for next year's competition.
