You've been training for years, your tailgate party is a finely tuned machine running on hot sauce and beer, and everyone talks about how great your party is.

Now is your chance to be recognized as the top dog of the tailgating crowd.

We're hosting a Best Tailgate Party Contest to be judged by a man who does this for a living; Jay the Tailgate Guy.

Grand prize includes a Camp Chef grill and trophy.

Judging criteria will be based on:
- Overall atmosphere and spirit of the tailgate
- Tailgate organization
- Quality and uniqueness of your tailgate cuisine
- Originality

Register online and tell us how to find you in the Eastern Market. We'll be making the rounds on Sunday, November 9th to judge your tailgate party.

The awards ceremony will be held at 11:30 am at the South Stage in Tailgating Lot 1. You don't want to miss this!
