Can you cook?
If you do then this is a perfect contest for you.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government is holding a culinary contest to raise awareness of high-quality Korean dishes and attract food connoisseurs from around the country.
The first round will see successful applicants picked depending on the quality of the YouTube clips they submit showcasing their culinary prowess. The five two-person teams that make the final will be invited to Seoul for a five-day trip in September, when an offline cooking contest will take place before a panel of culinary experts.
The finalists will visit tourist attractions, famous eateries, traditional liquor distilleries, and outdoor markets, where they will buy ingredients for their final cooking competition.
They will also have an opportunity to learn about Korean royal court cuisine. The final results of the competition will boil down to their skill in cooking a number of dishes according to the recipes they presented on YouTube.
The competition is also open to people living overseas and it is easy to enter. Applicants simply need to upload videos of them cooking a Korean dish on YouTube (www.youtube.com/visitseoul) by Aug. 10. Each team must comprise two people.
