In honor of Go Texan Day and embracing the honorary Texan spirit, Ah-Ha! Creative has put together a mini contest.

We’re inviting all our H-town pals to submit their favorite chili recipe by 4pm on Thursday afternoon. We’ll gather all the entries together and post them online for an open public vote Friday morning. Check our twitter stream or Facebook fan page that morning to get the link to vote. Voting will end at 11:59pm Friday night.

Submit your recipe here:

Then, on Tuesday March 1st, to celebrate the kickoff of this year’s Rodeo, we’re hosting a chili tasting of the top 3 recipes with our friends at Colab & Primer Grey. They’ll be helping us choose the official winner of the best chili, but we’re inviting all of you to stop in for lunch between 11:30am-2:30pm at Primer Grey HQ for chili, cornbread, iced tea and dessert (yes, FREE FOOD).

Please RSVP here if you plan stop by so we know how much grub to make:

We can’t wait to see your smiling faces. And hopefully you’ll be dressed like cowgirls & cowboys with us since it’s Rodeo time.

The prize?… Ok, ya there’s always a prize. Besides bragging rights, the winner of the best tasting chili gets a $25 gift card to Armadillo Palace & everyone who submits a recipe gets a free download of our virtual chili cookbook. We’ll email it to you shortly after the contest & it will include the top entries so you can try making them at home on your own!
