Greeting Brethern,
I've read some posts on holding a Non Sanctioned bbq comp- Most recent was January-
I copied this info:
I have a location (brewery), permits, insurance, security, camping, trash, portapotties, manpower; what other things should I consider?
I have strong interest from several local BBQ vendors, and a butcher who will supply meat/wood at a discount. Is it best for me supply the meat, or is it allowable for entrants bring their own? $75 was mentioned as a good fee to cover butts.
As it's at a brewery, I plan to sell wristbands to the public which allow open container on property (ABC rule) and Q sampling/people choice vote.
Hopefully I can have trophies donated, and a little cash left over for 1st and 2nd + paying the charity.
Above all, I want this to be fun.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I already have a solid following on my facebook/twitter food truck finder page (www.lynchburgvaeats.com), and cooperation with a local brewery where the event will be held. I will draw on members of the local Relay for Life team whom this will benefit. Limit will be the first 20 teams. Planned for May.What you need to get started:
1) At least one dedicated sponsor sales person who is connected in the community and has the time and energy to spend a lot of hours chasing dollars for six months to a year.
2) A couple thousand in seed money to pay for the up front costs of sanctioning, insurance, printing, etc.
3) A pool of volunteers you can count on to do all the jobs from taking tickets to picking up endless bags of greasy, stinky trash.
4) The cooperation of your local Health, Police and Fire Departments. (In the case of the HD, a blind eye may be even better)
