Martiki! Damn! This is a great idea I don't want it to go by the wayside. I'm an organizational freak, so I offer my services, help, etc. Here's my idea which I respectfully offer:

Zombie Recipes

Someone that has access and/or has Zombie recipes: Please type them out and post them--ingredients and all.

Teams

Anyone interested please 1) post and confirm that you will be a Team Leader and chose several friends to help with the mixing--prior to the event. A recipe should be assigned by the Event Coordinator, and the team should bring all necessary ingredients.

Judges

If you'd like to be a judge, post that you want to be a judge. The Event Coordinator will write down all the submissions, pull names from a hat and inform the lucky winners.

Costs

There were a couple of suggestions about cost absorption on this thread. I know you can't sell booze without a license, but a donation or entry fee should be okay. Everyone should probably pay a reasonable amount, say $5 including judges and people who want to sample--all the entries. Teams can give an estimated cost expense and proceeds can be divided fairly accordingly--some items are more expensive than others.

Event Coordinator/Coordination

1. confirm participation of judges (who & how many
2. confirm participation of team/team leaders (who & how many)
3. randomly assign recipes to team leaders (since this is not a contest, it shouldn't matter what team is making what)
4. choose time and location for the event 5) Post and/or announce and/or make flyers as notification of event
5. provide and/or assign someone to:
   a) bring chips/crackers for judges to cleanse palates between taste tests
   b) if necessary arrange for folding tables or other mixing surface
   c) identification tags and/or hats for Official Judges
   d) prepare score sheets and bring pen & penclis for Judges
   e) plastic cups for samples (suggest 6 oz cups -- for 3 oz samples
   f) identification labels for drinks (suggest color coding dots)
   g)assign someone to collect $5 for those participating & to reimburse mixing teams fairly

Of course, as you've mentioned none of this is possible without volunteers to judge/teams and submit recipes.

Well, that's my 5 bucks worth. I'm willing to put my moola where my mouth is and 1) be a team leader 2) bring a 6" table, if deemed necessary and/or help with whatever is required Martiki!

Sorry about being long-winded....but I think this would be great fun!
