Culinary contest to celebrate National Cherry Month

February is National Cherry Month, and the Cherry Marketing Institute is calling all culinary enthusiasts – professionals, students and novices alike – to celebrate the versatility, taste and year-round availability of this powerful fruit by sharing an original tart cherry recipe in the first-ever Powered by Red Recipe Contest, which started on February 1. 
 
Three grand prize winners (one per category: professional, student and consumer) will win $500, a set of high-performance cookware in cherry red, and professional photography of their winning recipe!
 
The contest closes February 20, and the winners will be notified by March 1. Visit www.choosecherries.com  for more details.
