2026 Chili Cookoff | Tutti Voce Collective | Lockport, IL — Tutti Voce Collective

**Think your chili is the best in town? We know a few people who might disagree!**
Some people like it spicy. Some like it smoky. Some swear by a secret family recipe that's been passed down for generations.
And some of us? We just love eating chili.
Whatever your preference, we've got something cooking that you won't want to miss!
**Tutti Voce Collective invites you to our 2026 Chili Cookoff!**
On Saturday, December 5, we're bringing our community together in Lockport for an afternoon filled with homemade chili, friendly competition, delicious food, and a whole lot of fun.
And here's where YOU come in.
**LOVE CHILI? COME HUNGRY!**
Imagine walking into a room filled with the incredible aroma of homemade chili. Up to 30 different recipes, each with its own personality, competing for the title of TVC Chili Cookoff Champion.
For only **$10 per person**, you can sample all-you-can-eat chili from our competing chefs AND cast your vote for your favorite!
That's right. YOU help decide who takes home the cash prizes!
And children under 5 eat free!
**THINK YOUR CHILI HAS WHAT IT TAKES?**
Maybe you've been perfecting your recipe for years. Maybe your friends and family keep telling you that you should enter a competition.
Well, here's your chance to prove them right!
We're welcoming up to 30 homemade chili entries, with cash prizes for first, second, and third place.
Entry fees are $20 for your first chili and $10 for a second recipe. And 70% of all competition entry fees go directly into the winners' prize pool!
So dust off that slow cooker, gather your secret ingredients, and bring your best!
**MORE THAN GREAT CHILI!**
We're also bringing you a silent auction featuring gift baskets, TVC merchandise, and opportunities to purchase tickets to upcoming Tutti Voce Collective concerts.
And the best part? Every bowl, every vote, and every purchase helps support Tutti Voce Collective, our nonprofit community choir dedicated to bringing people together through the joy of choral music.
