The 2024 competition was an exciting four-day event, with each day dedicated to judging a different category. We have listed the top 10 finishers in each of the four protein categories, but don’t worry—every participant will receive a full list of results to see how they did.

The top 10 in each category will be awarded certificates. Category winners will receive a special plaque to showcase their winning sauce and a $750 advertising deal with Barbecue News Magazine. First-place winners in each protein category will receive $300, while second-place winners will get $200. Additionally, the overall sauce category winner will take home a $500 cash prize, a $750 advertising deal with Barbecue News Magazine, and a one-year professional membership to the National Barbecue & Grilling Association worth $175!

Congratulations to this year’s winners and a huge thanks to all that participated.
