Union Square Main Streets and US2, the City’s master developer partner for Union Square’s revitalization are seeking contestants for Union Square’s Fluff Festival “What the Fluff? Cooking Contest.”

Does Marshmallow Fluff inspire you to create culinary works of art? Have you ever used Fluff as a secret ingredient? Is there a fabulous recipe featuring Fluff that’s been passed down in your family for generations? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you should submit your creation to the “What the Fluff? Cooking Contest!”

Organized by Union Square Main Streets, the Fluff Festival is a tribute to Archibald Query’s marshmallow concoction, which was invented in Union Square in 1917. Now celebrating its tenth year, the event has been called one of the top ten things to do in Boston by The Boston Phoenix and made Thrillist’s“Boston Bucket List: 33 Things To Do Before You Die.

What the Fluff? A Tribute to Union Square Invention takes place Saturday, September 26, 2015 (rain date September 27) from 3:00pm until 7:00pm in Union Square.

This year’s Cooking Contest is sponsored by US2 and gives participants the opportunity submit their Fluff-based culinary creations to a panel of judges who will present awards in five categories:

• Best Original Recipe
• Best Traditional Recipe
• Most Creative
• Best Youth Entry
• Grand Prize: Best Overall

Favorite recipes from past festivals have included Erupting Fluff Volcano Cake, Fluff Avocado Ice Cream, Chicken Wings in a Fluff Barbecue Sauce, and a chessboard made in cake and fudge.
