Dear Championship Competition Team,

Congratulations! Your team has been accepted to participate in the 2023 World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. It’s your turn to join the best of the best for a Battle of the Big Hogs as we return to the riverfront and Tom Lee Park on May 17- 20 for the 2023 World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest.

You are one of 140 teams selected to compete in the contest this year. Regrettably, due to the landscape redesign of Tom Lee Park, we were forced to turn away 35 team applicants, as well as eliminate 20 to 30 entries in the patio porker division.
