* The 15 finalists in each region will be selected by the public via text voting which opens on 1 August.

* Each regional finalist will be visited by a mystery judge who, as well as looking at a host of judging criteria, will also send a chip sample away for fat analysis testing.

* The top 20 shops in each region will be displayed on regional leader-boards at www.chipgroup.co.nz .

* The Crisco Best New Zealand Chip Shop Competition 2007 is the country's only national chip shop competition and is this year supported by Goodman Fielder, Huhtamaki, Bakels, Food2Go Magazine, McCain, Moffat, Mr Chips, Potato Growers of New Zealand, Premo Filtration, Southern Hospitality and The National Heart Foundation.
