In our 37th year, we have more reasons to celebrate than ever before and we want you to be part of the fun! We're thrilled to bring our BBQ family back together, circle the table, and break bread again at the 2024 KCBS Annual Awards Banquet as we return to a standalone event!
At the Annual Awards Banquet, we will build on decades of tradition by honoring Outstanding Certified Barbeque Judges, celebrating the top Teams of the Year for Master Series and Backyard Series, as well as giving tribute to the distinguished Gary and Carolyn Wells Ambassador awardee.
This year's Annual Awards Banquet is the inaugural KCBS Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony! KCBS will recognize the best of the best, legends behind the smoke, the outstanding CBJs in the judges' tent, and the quintessential organizers and reps behind the scenes.
But that's not all, folks! The centerpiece of the 2024 KCBS Annual Banquet will be the incredible BBQ Legends keynote with some of the world's most respected and successful BBQ cooks and restaurateurs such as Myron Mixon, Chris Lilly, Johnny Trigg, Melissa Cookston and Tuffy Stone, and moderated by Rod Gray. The Banquet will feature breakout sessions tailored towards our CBJs, folks seeking sponsorship and social media advice, organizers, and much more. The 2024 KCBS Annual Awards Banquet promises to be one you won't forget!
Register by 12/1/2023 for advance ticket pricing.
