Description:
Texas Ladies State (TLS) Board needs to have a clearly defined set of guidelines for prize distribution to avoid confusion and inconsistencies. The Texas Ladies State Chili Championship was started with the purpose of honoring the women that participate in this event and specifically to honor the Ladies State Champion from Texas. The TLS Board must be able to effectively award cookoff prizes that could include, but are not limited to the traveling trophy, vase, stove, title of Texas Ladies State Champion, chair, tiara, or other prizes as outlined below.
Objective:
The objective of this guideline is to avoid confusion and inconsistency with TLS prize distribution when individuals place 1st that are not a Texas resident. This guideline will also establish the prize distribution to the highest-ranking Texas resident regardless of finishing place. The guideline will set a precedent and provide a guide for future TLS Boards as membership and responsibilities change over time.
Prize Distribution (all prizes are subject to change due to availability):
