THE JUDGING PROCESS
Step 1 : is to choose four
restaurants in each competing city to represent the city and on which
the judges can focus their attention. This is achieved by votes on
the dedicated website and through Mood Food Magazine as well as in
cooperation with regional newspapers, and radio.
Step 2 : is for the organizers
to build up dossiers on each of the four team restaurants in each
city for eventual presentation to the judges who will have carried
out their own, independent appraisals.
Step 3 : is to build up a
dossier on each competing city based on what the diverse community
does for the city and what the city does for them and the importance
of their restaurant community-once again for presentation to the judges.
Step 4 : Invite all team
restaurants to hold a special dinner during the month of the event
with proceeds going to The Curry Tree Charitable Fund to help the
poor and undernourished with
UK based charities and NGOs.
Step 5 : is to encourage the
public to vote for their city via the website.
Step 6 : is to receive the
submission (written or electronic) from the Councils or marketing
entities as to why their city should win the title. (very important)
Step 7 : is to present the
final dossiers to the 13 judges for voting and verification by the organiser.
