Calling all dessert lovers: Tiramisu World Cup looking for judges from around the world
Organizers say judges must be 18 or older and pass a 15-question test to help score amateur tiramisu entries.
The Tiramisu World Cup is seeking volunteer judges from around the world for its 10th anniversary competition in Treviso, Italy, inviting dessert lovers to evaluate amateur tiramisu.
Known as a traditional Italian coffee dessert, tiramisu consists of biscuits soaked in coffee and layered with cream; its name derives from "tirami su," which translates to "pick me up."
Candidates must be at least 18 years old and pass a 15-question test on competition rules. Judges will "check the integrity of the ingredients and competition equipment" to ensure competitors are correctly positioned and the event runs smoothly.
Contests take place Oct. 9 and 10 in Piazza Borsa, the town square of Treviso, where judges will not receive payment for their time but also will not have to pay to participate.
Prospective judges can apply starting Sept. 12 at 4 p.m. EST, with the application process and competition rules outlined on the competition's website.
