Chilimania plays host to the Wisconsin State ChampionshipCASI-Sanctioned cook-off (Chili Appreciation Society International). The CASI cook-off is open to any cooker as long as they prepare chili-grind chili and their chili preparation meets CASI regulations (see all cook-off rules below).
In addition to the CASI Wisconsin State Championship, Chilimania will host their "TRADITIONAL," anything goes, contest.
Chili chefs may enter the CASI contest, the TRADITIONAL contest or both, along with the salsa contest, all for one entry fee. (To enter the salsa contest, at least one of the chili cooking contests must be entered). Please note that each chef must cook or bring enough chili for the public tasting.
