Entrants must be at least 18 years old with individuals or two-person teams eligible for registration.
They must submit original recipes, with ingredients written out to be judged, though they must be tomato-based.

The Retreat will provide 4 ounces of Vodka, and no outside alcohol will be allowed, though alcohol is not required and Virgin Marys are permitted.
Straws, ice, and glasses will also be provided, though entrants must provide all other ingredients and any tools such as cutlery, boards, and shakers.
Judging will be based on taste, presentation, originality, and garnish.
