Send this to someone who knows how to cook BBQ! 😎
We still need cook teams to sign up to compete at the Byron BBQ Fest being held September 18th & 19th, 2026. Anyone can join, and there is NO Georgia BBQ Association membership required to compete.
Never competed before? This is the perfect place to try your hand at competing. According to past cook teams, we are "laid back, but still a good competition." Also, the Byron BBQ Fest is a "great time to try out new things".
Entry is $200 for chicken, pulled pork, and ribs. You will also cook a butt provided by us for the people's choice competition. Go all in and add the Brunswick stew category for $50. We now accept card payments! Just be wary of scams (we do not send invoices or online payment links). You have to call the Byron Welcome Center for over the phone payments.
Payouts:
🥇1st: $1000 | 🥈2nd: $700 |🥉3rd: $500 for each meat category
🏅People's Choice Winner: $100
🏅Brunswick stew: 50% of all entries
Don't wait to sign up! We need these teams ASAP!
