BARBECUE JUDGING SEMINAR
*NO REFUND*
Memphis Barbecue Network is proud to offer barbecue judging seminars for barbecue enthusiasts. The purpose of these seminars is to instruct judges in the mechanics of judging a Memphis Barbecue Network Sanctioned barbecue contest.
All Network Sanctioned Contests are provided with lists of trained and certified judges for use in their contests. Barbecue teams prefer trained and/or certified judges and often inquire at a contest as to the number of trained and/or certified judges. Most sanctioned contests, including the BIG PIG JIG®, Georgia’s State Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, are rapidly working toward using 100% trained and/or certified judges. As a trained and/or certified judge, you will be invited to judge at many events all across the country.
Topics that will be covered at the judging seminar include: the Memphis Barbecue judging process and rules, the official meat categories, the scoring process, blind, and On-Site Finals judging. You will sample barbecue during simulated judging exercises by 2 (two) barbecue teams as they reenact their own style of presentation to Judges.
After becoming a Memphis Barbecue Network trained judge, you may gain certification by judging EACH official meat category (Whole Hog, Pulled Pork and Rib) and in at least 2 (two) sanctioned contests.
Seminar participants MUST also complete an Application for ONE of the TWO choices of “Judges Registration Packages.”
See the “Judges Information.”
The judging seminar cost is $65 which includes all materials and is limited to the first 50 registrants. Our seminar is always held on “contest Friday.” Deadline to register is October 5, 2018. Our next seminar will be held:
