Mark your calendars and prep your tongues, because on Wednesday, March 26th, we're turning up the heat with our own twist on the Sweet Sixteen.

This isn't your average wing-eating contest; it's a trial by fire to see who can truly handle the heat.

Picture this: a duel where our competitors go head-to-head not over who can scarf down the most wings, but who can withstand the volcanic eruption that each wing brings.

With every round, two challengers will brave 2 scorchingly hot wings. Our eagle-eyed panel of judges will be scrutinizing every wince, every drip of sweat, and every desperate plea for water, rating their spice survival skills.

Do you have what it takes to make the Spicy Sixteen?

Here's how it works.

There will be 2 phases. A nomination phase and a voting phase.

NOMINATION PHASE: First things first, those who would like to participate must nominate themselves with the form below.

The Nomination Phase will last from February 20th to February 28th.

After the nominations are in, the Voting Phase begins.

VOTING PHASE: From March 1st to March 19th, it's all about getting those votes in. We're creating a voting form that you can share far and wide with friends, family, fans, even strangers on the street.

Remember, it all goes down on Wednesday, March 26th.

Will you rise as the undisputed champion of heat, or will you find yourself reaching for the nearest glass of beer? Only one way to find out.

Gear up for a the spiciest showdown of the year. Let's see who's really hot stuff!
