Date: 09/30/2012

Location: UNL Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center Room 212 (1505 S Street, east side of Union)
We cordially invite all Lincoln Chinese families, Chinese food lovers and experts to participate in this event.
As of last year’s event, entries for the contest can be both hot and cold dishes and pastries. Whether it is traditional cooking, or is innovative, as long as you are proud to be given prominence, it is in line with contest requirements. The food contest judge panel will be formed by amateur cooking masters from our LCCA families and professional cooks from our Lincoln community. There will be numerous awards to encourage participation and creativity of the participants. We also will set up a voting box, so that contesters and visitors also have the opportunity to cast votes for their favorite dishes.
Pictures and stories of past LCCA events will be displayed at the same time. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the LCCA history and how it has grown in the last 10 years. While enjoying the food, you will feel a strong friendship and pride of Chinese culture.
This event is sponsored by the UNL Confucius Institute. Move details about this event will be revealed in the coming weeks; but first thing’s first, please sign up today to join the contest. It is a great way to show your cooking talent！
Nice day starting from the food! We look forward to your participation and wish you success! A Chinese version of this announcement is attached for your convenience.
Regards,
