🔥 IMPORTANT 2027 HUMBLE BBQ COOK-OFF REGISTRATION UPDATE! 🔥

We are changing the registration process for the 2027 Humble BBQ Cook-Off to help prevent the computer system issues experienced during 2026 registration.

📧 RETURNING 2026 COOK-OFF TEAMS

On September 21 by 12:00 noon, registration instructions will be emailed to teams that competed in the 2026 Humble BBQ Cook-Off.

Returning teams will have September 21–30 to register for 2027.

🚨 RETURNERS — PLEASE DON'T PANIC AND RUSH TO REGISTER AT NOON!

If every eligible 2026 team returns, we have room for everyone. You have through September 30 to register. This early registration period was created specifically so everyone does NOT have to hit the registration system at the same time.

We will make every effort to return teams to their previous locations, but previous space placement is NOT guaranteed.

📅 OCTOBER 1 — GENERAL REGISTRATION OPENS

Beginning October 1, registration opens to everyone and all remaining spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Our registration system time-stamps every registration.

If a returning team does not register by September 30, they will enter the general registration pool on October 1 with everyone else.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: September 21–30 registration is ONLY for teams that competed in the 2026 Cook-Off. Advance registration information may NOT be shared with new teams.

Any new team attempting to use the returning-team registration information before October 1 will be disqualified from registering for the 2027 Cook-Off. If a returning team is found to have provided that information, that team will also be disqualified from registering for 2027.

🎉 MORE COOK-OFF SPACES FOR 2027!

There will be no Public Plaza in 2027, which allows us to add additional cook-off spaces to the grounds.

💲 2027 SPACE FEE: $350

The cook-off space fee has remained at $300 for several years. The Executive Board has approved a $50 increase for 2027, bringing the fee to $350 per space.

Port-o-lets, wash stations, and other add-ons will remain at the same prices as 2026.

📌 DATES TO REMEMBER
Sept. 21–30: Returning 2026 Teams Only
Oct. 1: General Registration Opens
Jan. 29–30, 2027: Humble BBQ Cook-Off

We appreciate everyone's cooperation as we work to make the 2027 registration process smoother for everyone. We can't wait to see our cook teams back in Humble! 🤠🔥
