Overview

Microwaved ramen and instant mac n’ cheese are college cliches, but they don’t have to be. Enter the Dorm Food Contest and show us your one-pot dinners, grab-and-go breakfast ideas, and mouthwatering packed lunches! The main objective of this contest is achieving maximum flavor with limited kitchen resources.

Prizes include an Acer Chromebook, Fagor Multicooker, Elite Cuisine 3-in-1 Breakfast Center, and much more. Show us how you get creative in your shared kitchen spaces and help us create a collection of inspiring dishes that anyone can make in a snap, even if they're cramming for midterms.
