To participate in FoodiplaceMasterCook, the contestants are required to record and submit an original cooking video spanning anywhere between one to 10 minutes. The event organizer, Foodiplace has left the cooking style and cuisine choices open, allowing the contestants to showcase their skills on various verticals.

MasterCook will be accepting video entries up to August 21, followed by the voting round starting August 22. The contest will feature awards from two categories -- jury award and social vote award. While the jury award will focus on presentation style and video content, the social vote award will be based on points from video likes, comments, and shares. Each like accumulates to 1 point, unique comment to 2 points, and share to 3.

The winners of the competition are entitled to exciting prizes from the MasterCook partners. The jury award winner will receive gift hampers from Contentder, a Café Déjà vu- Naxal dinner voucher, and 2 Wall Climbing tickets from Astrek Wall Climbing.
