This week, help us make a tantalizing spread so that we can catch a glimpse of the elusive beasts that lurk deep within the Shrieking Wilds.

If you are looking for a different event, please fly on back to the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2437475/1]GG Event Hub[/url]. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pqjoSYl.png[/img] This is a REAL LIFE cooking contest, so be careful, especially around knives and hot things. We don't want anyone getting hurt. If you have unsteady hands, consider making a dish that doesn't require as much preparation. Likewise, if you have a food allergy, don't jeopardize your safety just to make something cool. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6YaCnqc.png[/img] Please read and follow the rules in the How to Enter post, otherwise we can't judge your food - and we really want to! [img]https://i.imgur.com/pqjoSYl.png[/img] This event runs for the week of the festival only, opening after rollover on [b]Sunday, May 27th[/b] and ending at rollover on the following [b]Saturday, June 2nd[/b]. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6YaCnqc.png[/img] There is [b]no fee[/b] to participate in this event. Enjoy the festival!

Cakes, cookies, and other things that are bad for your teeth are the Ape's favorite foods. This creature is often dismissed as a legend, but those who've seen them say they are like no other creature in the Labyrinth. They're also said to smell terrible.

Supposedly it never visits places where blood has been spilled. Maybe we can lure it into the open with a salad, a trail mix, or a baked vegetable?

Perhaps a primitive cousin of Wildclaws, this creature was long ago blamed for eggs that never hatched - one old dragon we spoke to was convinced that it visited nests in the night and slowly sucked the life out of the eggs. Scary stuff! Nowadays, of course, we know that's nonsense. But we'd still like to see one - maybe bird eggs, fish, or meat will work.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/6YaCnqc.png[/img] Entries will be judged on three criteria: [b]creativity[/b], [b]presentation[/b] (appearance), and [b]accuracy to the theme[/b] (Greenskeeper Gathering/Cryptozoology), including how likely the dish is to lure in the desired beastie! [img]https://i.imgur.com/pqjoSYl.png[/img] You may enter each category once. You may [i]not[/i] use the same dish for multiple categories. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6YaCnqc.png[/img] Comment on other chefs' entries! Part of the fun of cooking is sharing your creations, and you're more likely to get critiques of your entry if you analyze others' dishes too.

In addition to the four main categories' prize packs below, mini [non-cooking] challenges may pop up now and again throughout the week. These will be indicated with a double footprint symbol ( [img]https://i.imgur.com/pqjoSYl.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/6YaCnqc.png[/img] ), and will only be open for 24 hours.

Hello friends! This is a one-time notice because you were on the pinglist for last year's Greenskeeper Gathering cooking contest. If you are interested, have a look at this year's! If not, just ignore this ping.


@sinstarinablak @Krycelli @Eialyne @Leopardmask @unicornssparkle @ThisOneIsBlue @Valligator @Sylvandyr @JinxMoonstone @Mishil @Quib @Miniania @sangobacow

If you are reading this, you posted in last year's Biomagica Academy contest at some point. If you would like to be added to the ping list for this year's Greenskeeper Gathering Cooking Contest, please comment in this thread to let me know. Otherwise, just carry on! :)

@Tyta

*wiggles eyebrows* Way ahead of you! Was making something for a get together today anyway and decided to make some...modifications to make them GG appropriate now that I know what the categories this year are! Last batch is about to come out of the oven shortly ^_^

Please add me to the ping list :) I wasn’t sure if I would have time to participate this year since this week is going to be very busy, but the theme is too adorable.

Heck yeah I'm in!
