My name is Frank Pastella. I have a YouTube channel @frankiefloatsfeedingfrenzy; I do it as a hobby. I've been a community volunteer for 20 years, involved in youth and school sports, and the fair committee at the local church. I love hosting contests. We do a lot of pizza-related eating challenges on the channel. I spend a lot of time in my local pizza shop, which got me thinking. A lot of high school kids make extra cash working in local pizza shops.

Why not do a pizza-making contest? Judging will be based on appearance, speed, technique, and flavor balance. The contest will be filmed and most likely live-streamed. Contestants must work at a pizza shop and submit a video of themselves making a pizza.

If the goal of 5K is reached, I would like to give out 2 scholarships: 1st place $3500 and 2nd place $1500. Scholarship money can be used for any qualifying institution. Contest target date is December 2025.
