The ICS (International Chili Society) championship is held in Reno each year. To compete you have to win an ICS ccok off if I remember right. I'm not totally sure of ICS guidelines because I'm not a member. :)

CASI probably is not the largest but, we raise money for charity with our cook offs. ICS gives money prizes to it's top winning cooks and has a championship in Nevada once a year where the winner receives $25,000. Hey...money is great but, standing on the stage at TICC is great also. CASI holds...

Well, if you want diversity you could always go to a local cook off that's not sanctioned by any group...CASI etc. Then you're lible to find any type of chili with numerous ingredients. I find cooking chili in competition is fun....as my husband says we're not cooks we're chemists. We try to put...

How do I like my chili? I like it with meat and to be spicey not hot. Since I can't put beans in competition chili I wait till later to add those. Also, spicey means just that...not rip your face off hot. People in differnt areas of the country have different ways of describing heat. :)
