All you have to do is write your recipe on an entry form and the four best entries submitted in St Neots, Ramsey, St Ives and Huntingdon will be invited to prepare their sandwich for tasting by a panel of judges locally. One winner selected from each town will then be invited to prepare their sandwich in a final heat to find the best sandwich in Huntingdonshire on Saturday 27 September at Saxongate, Huntingdon. The four finalists will receive £50 each and the overall Huntingdonshire winner will win an extra £100.
