Hey Y'all - we are please to announce the date for this year's contest (September 11th & 12th, 2015), and announce that we are officially a KCBS Sanctioned contest. We're also growing the field this year up to 100 teams, including ancillary contests, live music, and free beer & cocktails all weekend again.
We're also eliminating the public attendance tickets, and moving the competitors to the North end of the lot (closer to the stadium), with easy access to electricity (Soldier Field's main power supply - which is more power than we could possibly need), water, and entry/exit. Teams will be allowed to leave immediately at the end of awards this year, as we won't have the general public roaming around.
The changes are due to my passion for BBQ and my desire for this event to grow in that way. We're going to continue growing the contest, as Soldier Field manages the campus & the surrounding area (Northerly Island, Museum Campus, etc.). We want to be a nationally recognized competition, with a great venue downtown Chicago on the lakefront, we're excited for the possibilities.
Applications are being touched up, but with this being KCBS sanctioned, ya'll know the rules - apps will be live on the site this week.

Thanks for those that have participated the last 3 years, and welcome to the newcomers for 2015. We're excited to be the only KCBS Sanctioned event in the City of Chicago. :clap2::clap2:
