There will be five different categories that you can enter including chicken, pork ribs (loin or spare) pork shoulder or butt, beef brisket, and dessert. You also have the option to enter all of the categories. There are several cash awards that will be offered including a $3,000 grand champion award, a $2,000 reserve grand champion award, a $1,000 first prize, a $700 second prize, $500 third prize, a $400 fourth prize, a $300 fifth prize, a $100 sixth prize, a $100 seventh prize, a $100 eighth prize, a $100 ninth prize, a $100 tenth prize, and a $300 dessert fist prize.
