The municipality of Sinop is conducting the 4th edition of the ‘Encantos da Gastronomia’ project to select an official typical dish that represents the city’s cultural identity. Organized by Senac-MT in partnership with the Sinop City Hall and the City Council, the competition is open to residents and local businesses.

Participants must submit recipes along with their history, ingredients, and cultural relevance by September 21. The selection process involves a technical commission that will choose ten recipes for professional standardization, followed by a public internet vote to determine three finalists. The winner will receive a cash prize and a technical trip to Senac facilities in Rio de Janeiro or Brasília. If successful, the winning recipe may be officially established as the city’s signature dish through a local legislative project.
