It's hard to believe that our Practice Bakes Perfect Challenges have been running continuously for seven years straight! Throughout our 45 challenges, we have covered a myriad of topics, techniques, and media, and, collectively, we have benefited and learned tremendously from it all.

With that said, the cookie community has grown (and changed) considerably since 2014 and, in fact, each year since. In order to keep our Practice Bakes Perfect Challenges relevant to today's trends and designs, and to encourage broad participation, I have a few quick questions for you.

Please answer this survey even if you've never heard of or entered one of our challenges. Individual survey responses will be kept anonymous, though aggregate results will display after you've taken the survey. I would appreciate responses no later than May 15 (ideally sooner), so I can use them to guide our challenges as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT:
(1) If you select any "Other" options in any of the questions, please also specify what that "Other" is in the box that appears underneath. Responses are limited to 255 characters.

(2) If a question does not apply to you, DO NOT skip it; instead, select the "N/A (not applicable)" option. You must answer all questions, or your responses will not be saved by the system.

Thanks in advance for your participation!
