Cooks, judges and festival organizers are invited to join us for a day of learning, fellowship and whole hog barbecue!
Current and prospective judges
Not only is this your chance for a refresher or to get on the path to being a sanctioned judge, it’s a chance to meet a few festival organizers, too, and show your enthusiasm for the coveted position of barbecue judge!
Cooks
Judges on the Whole Hog Barbecue circuit are tough! This is your chance to get clarifications on the rules and learn exactly what the judges are looking for.
Festival organizers
We’ve noticed that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to current rules and information. So this is a chance for you to learn what you need to know and get to know others. While we might all host a competition, there isn’t a competition amongst festivals. We all want to succeed!
Early-bird price is $20 through Feb. 10. Price increases to $25 the week of the event.
