FAQ
What are Apron Badges?
The Apron Badges in the #CookpadApron2025 Challenge are e-badges (digital badges) that participants will earn and track throughout the challenge. These badges will help you track progress and celebrate milestones along the way to winning the physical Cookpad Apron.
Where Will Participants See Their Badges?
- Displayed in the challenge progress tracker (which will be shared after the entry period closes).
- Featured on your Completed Challenges
- Participant will receive a Named e-badge after completing each milestone.
What is the difference between the entry closing date and the end date?
The entry closing date (May 4, 2025) is the last date to join the challenge. You must join/start participating in challenges before this. The end date (January 3, 2026) is the final deadline to complete all 40 challenges and qualify for the Cookpad Apron.
Do we need to post 40 recipes before May 4, 2025, or January 3, 2026?
You have time until January 3, 2026, to complete your 40 challenge. The May 4, 2025, deadline is only for joining the challenge, not for completing it.
In a weekly challenge, do we need to post 2 recipes?
For a regular weekly challenge, you need to post as how each challenge ask you. However, if you miss a challenge, you can use a playoff by posting 2 recipes in a future week challenge (1 for the current challenge + 2 extra to make up for the missed week).
Will recipes posted before March 24 be counted?
No, only recipes posted after March 24, 2025, with the hashtag #CA2025 as each challenge ask you to do based on themes, ingredients or dishes, will be counted towards the challenge.
