The profile photo is designed to use a landscape image (horizontal orientation, i.e., 700x560) and will not allow for the full image to be displayed if you are trying to use a portrait (vertical) image instead. If your problem persists, you may try uploading from a different device and/or browser.

Look for your profile link in any of our official competition emails. You can easily copy and share the link with anyone you’d like.

There will always be a slight delay from the time you change your profile photo to the time your photo is updated for Facebook sharing. We recommend minimizing the number of times you update your profile photo to prevent this delay.

The grant to James Beard Foundation will come from donations generated through votes by donation during the competition. 100% of donations made through the competition will go directly to DTCare, which will subsequently grant donation funds (minus competition fees/costs and a nominal percentage (1%) retained by DTCare) to the organization.

James Beard Foundation's mission is to create a more equitable and sustainable future in the restaurant industry through annual awards, industry and community-focused initiatives and programs, advocacy, partnerships, and national events. Learn more at jamesbeard.org.

Many charities with honorable missions lack the bandwidth to run effective fundraising campaigns year-round. Through this competition, DTCare allows James Beard Foundation to spend less time raising funds, and more time focusing on their mission.

Each chef is randomly assigned a Group at the beginning of the Competition. There are multiple Rounds in the Competition, and each person is only competing against the others within the same Group during each round. We make every effort to ensure that Groups contain an equal number of competitors throughout the Competition.
