They write about the contest on the Food & Wine Magazine web site.

The grand prize was a very spiffy Canon camera. Firts place winners got most excellent swag, as seen below!

The grand prize winner Jessica Thomson of Seattle, WA won with an image of “Papaya-Jalapeno Sorbet in Black and White Espresso Cups”. Very lovely.

The other three runners up are:
- Linda Nihot of Astoria, Ny with “Eggs in Bombay”
- Karen Bolla of Alameda, CA with “Pears”
- Christian Remy of Brooklyn, NY with “Cooling Pomegranate Syrup”
