ICS Registration

Spice up the competition! The West Chester Chili Cook-Off is now an ICS-sanctioned event — professional judging, official categories, and the same family-friendly festival the community loves. Compete, taste, and support the fight against hunger.

This October 12, join thousands of chili lovers as the F4 West Chester Chili Cook-Off adds an exciting new element: sanctioned ICS competition. Competitors will follow ICS standards for a fair, professional contest with trophies and official rankings. Not a sanctioned cook? No problem — there will also be non-sanctioned entries vying for the People’s Choice Award, so everyone has a shot at glory. With over 10,000 attendees last year, your participation helps make a big difference — proceeds support Fiorenza’s Food for Friends’ mission to rescue food, run drives, and promote hunger awareness locally.

Ready to compete or taste your way to a winner? 

Quick details:

  • When: October 12
  • ICS Entry Fee: $35 per chili style (standard ICS guidelines will apply).
  • Why attend: Support F4’s no-government-funding hunger relief efforts and enjoy live music, vendors, and family fun.
