The event is produced by Vegan Outreach, an international, nonprofit organization aiming to reduce animal suffering by promoting a vegan lifestyle through education and making vegan options more accessible.
You have one month, from January 7 to February 7 to participate. Visit the Ventura Vegan Chef Challenge website to see the list of participating restaurants and menu items. Sample the unique vegan dishes being offered. Vote for your favorites either at the restaurants or by February 7th on the Ventura Vegan Chef Challenge website.

They are still seeking restaurants, cafes, bakeries, delis, ice cream shops, food trucks, catering services, and other food service businesses to join the event.
