Hello Hello Foodies of Steemit!!!

The wait is finally over and after one week of break...here I am today announcing the kick off of the 2nd Act of Steemit Iron Chef 2021!

Exceptionally this year we will only have 2 acts whereas as from 2022, each year we will have 3 different acts of 15 rounds each!

We successfully completed act 1 where our Iron Chef Champion @crisvera did amazingly well during all the 15 rounds and very much deserved this title! Congrats again my friend!

Now Act 2 - Different from Act 1!!!

In act 1, each week I was announcing a vegetable/fruit for the contestants to work on...but in act 2 things will be different...

There will be 15 different themes for act 2!!!

Each round I will come up with a creative theme for our contestants to have fun and make their entry...Read below to know the theme of this first round!

Let's go and discover what the contestants will have to do in the first round of act 2!!! Good luck to all!

STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 2 LEAGUE

The total points earned each week by the top 7 contestants (see table above) will be sent on the below table to make the rankings of the Steemit Iron Chef 2021 ACT 2 League!

The one getting the most of points will top the league at the end of the Second Act which comprises of 15 weeks/rounds!

The more consistent someone is in participating, the better chance to top the league!

There will be rewards for the ones finishing in the top 25 this time...to be disclosed later!!!

I wanted to organize the grand reward pool like act 1...but I won't do it this time as it was really hard to convince people to contribute...I contributed nearly 85% to make the grand reward pool of act 1!!!

And like I said above...our main goal is to grow our community SP...so most of our earnings will be powered up the next 15 weeks...
