Here we are in the second year for this web page.  Were trying something that had not been attempted before and to set up a web page to promote barbecue contests.  The first year we tested the concept and it worked great.  We had  24 contests post articles to this site to promote their contest.  Some of the articles were read by more than 500 people.  That's a lot of free publicity for the contest.  This year were shooting for 100 contests promoted on this web page.   So we need the help of a lot of contest organizers to post articles to this site. 

So here is how this will all work and this may change as time goes on.  I have set up access, that will be granted to some contests, associations and contest organizers. In some cases they will be able to publish articles or notices about up-coming events directly to the web page.  In other cases these people will be able to send to me late breaking information that I will distribute for them.  In other cases information will come to this site by information posted to the BBQ Forum. 

This information will be accessible from this web page and through the newsletter.  There will be a newsletter that will be sent to all subscribers that will contain the latest contest information that can be assembled.  So be sure to sign up for the newsletter on the right side of the web page.  The newsletter will be free to the subscribers and access to post contest information to this site will be free to contests and event promoters.

* So please sign up for the newsletter.  You have my promise that you will receive only the newsletter and no "Spam."
* If your an association, contest promoter or event organizer, be sure to apply for access to this site, so you can inform the public about you events.  It won't cost you anything to do this
