All salsas were prepared on-site, right in the Salsa Challenge tent. People had the chance to buy chips and go to each salsa challenge contestant to sample their awesome and unique salsas. Bragging rights, as well as prizes, were awarded to the best of the best!

The 2012 Trophy for the Professional Contest was awarded to La Paloma. Congratulations!
