This new competition offers SA Graan/Grain readers the opportunity to showcase their creativity in the kitchen and stand a chance to win some #Lekkerrr prizes! We are looking for original and/or innovative grain- or oilseed-based recipes that earn spontaneous compliments from your family, relatives or guests.

What does the competition entail?

1. The recipe must be unique. It may either be an original recipe or a well-known recipe that has been adapted to such an extent that it includes a surprising element.
2. The recipe’s main ingredient – or at least a significant ingredient – must be one of the grains or oilseeds (processed or unprocessed) represented by Grain SA as a producer organisation, namely:
   • Maize
   • Wheat
   • Barley
   • Sunflower
   • Soybeans
   • Sorghum
   • Canola
   • Groundnuts
3. To enter, the entry form on sagrainmag.co.za must be completed in full.
4. A name or description of the recipe’s final product must be provided.
5. All ingredients and quantities or measurements must be listed, as well as the number of people the recipe serves.
6. The method must be set out step by step.
7. A close-up photograph of the final product (a mobile phone photo at the highest possible resolution should be sufficient) must be attached.
8. Entries are limited to one entry per person per month.
9. Entries must reach us on or before the last day of a month; for example, entries for the February issue close on 28 February. Any entry received after the last day of a month will qualify for the following month’s competition.
10. A monthly winner of the current competition (February to December/January issues of SA Graan/Grain) may not enter again during the same period.
11. Entries that do not win may be resubmitted for consideration in a subsequent month.
12. The competition is open to all ages; however, parental or guardian consent is required if the participant is under the age of 18.
13. A monthly winner will receive a John Deere-branded gift and will qualify for the R5 000 cash prize, which will be awarded to the overall winner at the end of the year.
14. Judging will be conducted by a panel appointed by SA Graan/Grain. The judges’ decision is final.
15. Winners will be contacted personally by SA Graan/Grain and announced on the website (sagrainmag.co.za) as well as in SA Graan/Grain.
16. The participant agrees that his/her identity may be linked to the submitted recipe and/or the competition through printed or online publication.
