Ten percent of the festival's ticket sales will support Keep Austin Fed, and organization that helps local charities.

AUSTIN, Texas — More than 25 food trucks will compete at the Austin Food Truck Taste-Off for the votes of judges to claim the title of Best-Truck and a prize of $10,000.

The one-day festival will be held under the "Bat Bridge" on the Austin-American Statesman property from noon to 6 p.m., rain or shine on Saturday, Oct. 19.

Anyone attending can purchase a judge for $50 that allows them to sample any of the trucks at the festival and cast a vote for their favorite one.

Only 1,000 judge passes will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. If the judge passes sell out or you don't want to be a judge, don't worry, you can still attend the festival with a general admission fee of $10.

The general admission includes entrance to the festival, music and the option to eat like "regular" at the trucks of your choice.
