Carolina Pride is the Presenting Sponsor
of the South Carolina Festival of Discovery
- Over 70 barbeque teams are expected to converge on beautiful Uptown Greenwood for the 9th Annual South Carolina Festival of Discovery. In 2008 (see 2008 results), teams from Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina filled Uptown with the incredible smell of barbeque. The Festival has been proclaimed an Official South Carolina State Championship by Governor Mark Sanford. The Festival is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) and includes four required categories: pork shoulder, pork ribs, beef brisket and chicken. The professional competition will follow the 2009 KCBS rules and regulations.
-
- The Festival also features an amateur/backyard contest and celebrates the rich history of hash in Greenwood County by sponsoring a hash cookoff. Additionally, the Festival features a 'Taster's Choice' competition where the general public critiques participating barbeque team samples that can be purchased for $1.
As of Friday, June 26, we are NO LONGER accepting backyard BBQ entries. Entries for the pro-KCBS cook-off are still being accepted.

2009 KCBS Judges - As May 22, we are only accepting new KCBS judge applications as alternates. The SC Festival of Discovery makes EVERY effort to have 100% KCBS judges. The 2008 competition was judged by 100% certified KCBS judges. We are making one change in 2009. The backyard competition will be judge completely separate from the KCBS (pro) competition. We will have a separate table that will judge only backyard turnins. We plan to use KCBS judges for the backyard competition. If you DO NOT want to judge the backyard turnins, PLEASE make sure the organizers are aware of your request.
