To participate in the competition, contestants are asked to create an innovative and original recipe that showcases tuna fish in a delicious and interesting way. Participants must upload a two-minute video of themselves executing their dish in a fun and engaging manner to www.Tonnino.com/ChefChallenge.

Following the completion of the contest, the three highest ranked video recipes will be evaluated by a panel of judges from Tonnino Tuna in the final round of the Chef Challenge.
