The competition, hosted at The Chef's Academy's campus in Indianapolis, highlights the culinary and pastry talents of high school students throughout the United States and the District of Columbia. Marcus Stryker and Kevin Wamsley Jr., both rising seniors at Warren County Career Center in Lebanon, Ohio, were two of five finalists to receive a $1,000 scholarship to further their educational training at The Chef's Academy campus of their choice in 2013.
Stryker, Wamsley Jr. and other competitors traveled to Indianapolis for the final phase of the scholarship competition. The first place winner received a full scholarship to The Chef's Academy, the second place winner received a $5,000 scholarship, and five other finalists each received a $1,000 scholarship to attend one of The Chef's Academy's campuses. Both Ohio winners are active in Warren County Career Center's Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Club and the school's basketball team.
The Top Teen Talent Scholarship Competition was divided into three separate categories: culinary arts, pastry arts, and hospitality and restaurant management. Participating high school juniors and seniors were asked to submit official competition forms, including an essay and recipe submission as well as a photo of their culinary or pastry creation. Submissions were posted on The Chef's Academy Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/thechefsacademy) for the public to vote on the winning entries. Once the finalists were chosen, the participating students traveled to Indianapolis to compete in the final showdown in front of a judging panel of professional chefs. The style of the competition required students to prepare a pre-set menu, given to each participant prior to the competition to practice.
