CALLING ALL CHEFS
Over $10,000 in prize money and awards is given away throughout the event. That’s a lot of clams, so ballots are counted and verified by the local CPA firm of Tofias.

For anyone interested in competing in 2009 please contact:
mmartin@newportyachtingcenter.com or rtravis@newportyachtingcenter.com

There are three categories for Chowder and Clam Cake Competition
- Clam, Seafood, and Creative:

Without the fine restaurants involved in The Great Chowder Cook-Off, there would be no event. As a show of thanks, each restaurant is called to the main stage prior to the awards presentation and receives an exclusive Chowder Cook-Off Tote Bag filled with sponsor gifts and mementos of the event. Additionally, each Award Winning restaurant receives a framed award to recognize their restaurant, a bottle of champagne and prize money!
