WARREN, Ark. – The heat is on! Warren Bank & Trust is once again inviting the community to showcase their homemade salsa skills at the annual “Great Bowls of Fire” Salsa Contest, scheduled for Friday, June 13, 2025.
Entries must be submitted by 6:00 p.m. that day to Nora Pacheco at Warren Bank’s Main Street location or to a bank representative stationed near the Pink Tomato Festival square stage between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m.
Participants must submit homemade, tomato-based salsa using official containers provided by Warren Bank. These containers, along with entry forms, can be picked up in advance at any Warren Bank location.
Entries will be judged blindly, with three $100 prizes awarded in the following categories:
- Hottest
- Best Looking
- Best Tasting
While past entrants are welcome to compete again, Warren Bank employees and their immediate family members are not eligible. For those submitting particularly spicy salsas, event organizers request that participants notify a bank representative if their salsa is “HOT” when turning it in.
This annual contest is a flavorful tradition tied to the Bradley County Pink Tomato Festival and promises a fun and fiery showcase of local culinary creativity.
For more information, contact Warren Bank & Trust at (870) 226-2621 or visit the Main Street location in Warren.
