Huntington, NY - February 6th, 2016 - The National Bagel Association will hold its first annual "National Bagel Eating Contest" tomorrow, February 7th, 2016, on Long Island.
The five-minute all-you-can-eat bagel contest will take place in Huntington, New York. Bagel lovers across the country will be competing for a lot of dough; literally, as the winner will be awarded a $500 cash prize.
"The launch of the National Bagel Eating Contest was a no brainer," said Andrew Hazen, Founder & CEO of the National Bagel Association. "Millions of people love bagels and given the success of other competitive eating contests we knew we had to step-up, create and launch the event."
Those interested in competing in the National Bagel Eating Contest should visit BagelEatingContest.com to obtain information and register. All competitors must be over 18 years of age. The event, held the Sunday before National Bagel Day, will include Bagel Art, bagel games and more.
Attendees and Contestant Applicants can register at www.BagelEatingContest.com.
The National Bagel Eating Contest is sponsored by the Bagel of the Month Club, Bagel Boss and Brooklyn Bagel Chips.
