Register for culinary competition!

The nationwide hunt for culinary talents has begun. 'Meizan-Malaysian Palm Oil Shera Rondhonshilpi 2017' is inviting entries for the reality show. The programme is going to be presented by the country's popular TV channel ATN Bangla (from the third week of August 2017) and leading tourism and aviation fortnightly publication, The Bangladesh Monitor.

Culinary artists need to submit at least one entry to participate in the competition. Each entry should contain: a recipe of Bangladeshi main dish for four adults, participant's name, passport size photo, contact details, division from which he/she intends to compete. One participant may send more than one entry.

Registrants will be divided into four greater regions. Based on the recipes, a jury committee (comprising of culinary experts, nutritionists, and celebrity chefs), will select 8 participants from each region and invite them to take part in the TV show. The participants will go through several elimination rounds.

The winner will receive a cash prize of Tk 3,00,000, while the first and second runners-up will be awarded Tk 1,00,000 and Tk 50,000 respectively. One contestant will be honoured with 'Prof. Siddiqua Kabir Trophy' for knowledge in nutrition.
