Heraldry is an important part of our Society. One winner will be selected representing at least one Primary or Secondary entry.

Standard BBQ rules will apply as to preparation and acceptable non-poisonous cooking methods.

Timely entries: Late entries will NOT be accepted, no exceptions, no excuses. Entries must be entered at the time slot required or they will be disqualified.

The Grand Prize is for the contestant with the most points for the day. The Royal?s Choice Award is for the single favorite food item entered. Prizes will be awarded for each Winner in each category.
