Judging Opportunity for Giant BBQ Battle Virtual Contest

The Kansas City Barbeque Society is pleased to announce that we are partnering with the Giant BBQ Battle to provide KCBS Certified Barbeque Judges for their 2020 barbeque competition. While the Giant BBQ Battle typically happens on Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, D.C., KCBS has been able to work with the Organizer to help turn this into a virtual competition! You can see the full virtual event at www.BBQinDC.com .
 
The contest is open to all U.S. citizens aged 18 and older. The contest will include the Perdue Sizzlin’ Chicken contest, Smokin’ With Smithfield Ribs contest, Turkey Smoke by National Turkey Federation contest and the National Beef Championship. Contestants can enter as many categories as they desire, but to be eligible for the Overall Winner, they must enter all 4 categories.
 
Judges will be provided with the opportunity to attend a webinar or watch a recorded video to learn how to judge the virtual contest. You will utilize KCBS judging in a virtual manner. You will need access to a laptop or other wireless device (i.e. iPad, Chromebook, tablet, etc.) and internet access.  Each judge will be asked to judge at least 10 entries in each of the 4 categories.  Judging will occur throughout the month of June via links to virtual tables. You may complete your judging at your own pace, with all judging being due by June 26. Upon completion of judging, you will earn a certification for a signature in your judging book that you can redeem by a KCBS rep at the next “live” contest you judge.
 
All Giant BBQ Battle Judges must be KCBS members in good standing of the Kansas City Barbeque Society. Be sure to join or renew your membership at www.kcbs.us or call the office at 1-800-963-5227.
