How to use these printables at your party
For chili labels, place them visibly in front of each chili pot so everyone can easily see them. This helps in identifying each chili type without confusion but still keeps things anonymous.
Next, for the judging sheets, distribute one to each guest as they arrive, and make sure everyone has a pen or pencil to mark their scores. Clearly explain the scoring system and let everyone know when to submit their sheets.
After tallying the scores, use the winner certificates to honor the makers of the best chili. Hand them out with a smile and maybe even take a photo for a nice memory.
Supplies for Printing
A reliable printer is essential, preferably one capable of color printing to make the most of the printables’ designs.
Standard printer paper works fine, but for a more durable and professional feel, consider using a thicker card stock. This type of paper is especially beneficial for certificates and labels, making them sturdier and longer lasting.

Another great option to consider is laminating your labels and certificates. Lamination adds an extra layer of protection and gives a glossy, polished finish, ensuring your printables stand out and remain intact throughout your chili cookoff event.
You may also want double-sided tape for hanging up the number labels on tables.
It’s up to you how fancy you want to get!
