Our Story

About ICS

Since 1967, ICS has been bringing people together over America’s greatest culinary creation - CHILI! We sanction nationwide chili cook-offs all year long, which raise money for charities and produce an annual World Champion! In 2020, the World Food Championships officially acquired ICS to further its brand in the Food Sport world!

The Best of The Best

ICS Presenting Sponsor

It's no secret that the best beans make the best homestyle chili. We are proud to work with BUSH’S® Beans as the ICS presenting sponsor of the World Championship Chili Cook-off and throughout the next chili cook-off season.
