To participate
Make a short film with your phone or other video camera or create a photo album. You should cook a tasty meal from Nordic ingredients, which would be easy to make in school kitchens in the United States. Then it must be possible to access the raw materials easily in the United States. The dish should be healthy, tasty and easy for young people to cook. You should show us the recipe and introduce yourself as you tell us why you should be one of the winners of a trip to Washington.

Applications must be in English or one of the Scandinavian languages

The videos and photographs will be published on the Nordic Innovation Center's website. The jury will evaluate all the applications and choose the five best. The jury will not only focus on the recipe but on the candidates and how they present healthy Nordic food.

Applications must be received by the end of October 3, 2011.

For more information on the competition and applications, contact Elisabeth Smith (e.smith@nordicinnovation.org) at the Nordic Innovation Center.
