About The Inaugural
Getting Saucy with the Arc of the Lowcountry
BBQ Sauce Competition
What Makes this Competition Different?
It's All About the Sauce!
The Getting Saucy with ARC competition is South Carolina's only competition to feature the sauce as the determining factor to crown the ultimate barbeque sauce champion. Event coordinators will provide each contestant with the pork they will sauce up with their original recipe. This will ensure that all sauces are being judged independently of the pork.
All entries must be available to purchase commercially through wholesale, retail, or direct marketing generally open to the public. Categories judged will include Mild Red (Tomato), Spicy Red (Tomato), Mustard, Vinegar, and Specialty.
The first-place winner from each category will compete head-to-head to determine the Grand Champion.
