2/24/2014 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- The
Air Force Personnel Center Directorate of Services is hosting the
inaugural Air Force High Flyin' BBQ Challenge now through September.
The competition is open to all active-duty Airmen and sister service
members at Air Force-led joint bases in the contiguous U.S. who think
their barbecue is the best in town and want to prove their barbecue
prowess.
"The intent of this program is to encourage Air Force member
participation in locally sanctioned barbecue competitions in an effort
to improve morale and resilience, as well as foster local community
involvement," said Scott Black, the AFPC special projects officer.
To apply for the competition applicants must submit an essay by April 18
to AFHighFlyingBBQ@MyAirForceLife.com explaining in 500 words or less
why their barbecue skills are the best.
"The top two essay writers from each of the three geographic regions
will earn the chance to compete in an officially sanctioned local
barbecue competition this summer," Black explained.
AFPC will announce the essay winners April 25, and those winners will be
automatically entered to compete in local competitions slated for May
23 through Aug. 23.
"All regional competitions will be held at sanctioned events throughout
the continental United States," Black said. "The top three winners from
the regional events will win a trip to the Air Force barbecue finals in
September."
The three Air Force finalists will compete during the San Antonio Stock
and Rodeo Show's Fall Fest, held in September. All participants will
receive a commemorative gift for participating in the High Flyin' BBQ
Challenge, and additional prizes will be awarded to winners of the
regional and grand final competitions.
