Chandler, Arizona-based Bashas is holding its seventh annual Donut Flavor Craze contest. Two winners – one kid and one adult – will have their creations featured in the grocer’s donut cases this summer, earning them Bashas’ Donut Ambassador titles in 2022.
Through May 14, Arizonans are invited to submit their favorite carnival-inspired donut flavor. Kids ages 8-17 and adults ages 18 and older are invited to share a 100-word summary of their best carnival-themed donut flavor, including the proposed name, key ingredients and donut description here.
Each winner will receive $500 worth of prizes including a Bashas’ gift card, family-fun activities, cooking gadgets and one dozen donuts every month for a year. The two winning donut flavors will also be available for purchase in Bashas’ donut cases across Arizona, joining the 59 varieties already offered in the bakery.
A panel of celebrity judges will select 10 finalists – five kids and five grown-ups – by May 19, followed by two winning donuts on May 31, just in time for National Donut Day on June 3. The winning donuts will be featured in Bashas’ bakery cases across the state during the month of June, joining the grocer’s other made-from-scratch treats, including donuts, fritters, croissants, danishes, brownies, frosted cookies, cakes and cupcakes.
