The World Porridge Making Championship has been running since 1994, giving a main prize of the "Golden Spurtle" trophy and the title "World Porridge Making Champion" for the best traditional Porridge made with oatmeal, water and salt. A prize is also awarded for the best "Speciality" Porridge which again is made with oatmeal and contenders can add their own ingredients. The competition takes place at the village hall[1] in Carrbridge, in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.[2] and is run by volunteers on behalf of the Carrbridge Community Council. It has taken place alongside World Porridge Day since 2009.[2]. The 2017 competition is to be held on Saturday 7 October.
