Blue Apron Star Student Contest

I have SUCH exciting news! We are partnering with Blue Apron to bring you our Star Student Contest. As many of you know, engaging children in the kitchen is one of my life’s passions. This contest turns the spotlight on my young viewers and gives them the chance to produce their own cooking show segment, and Blue Apron is going to provide the ingredients!

This contest is open to children 6-18 in the viewing audience of The VeryVera Show, and the Grand Prize winner gets a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer and a Blue Apron gift card! 5 lucky runners-up also receive Blue Apron gift cards as well. I am so excited to celebrate culinary-minded children with this contest, and I can’t wait to see the results! Details and official rules are below. Good luck!
