The NEBS Team of the Year (TOY) is a recognition program that honors BBQ competitors that have been top performers throughout the barbecue season

Starting in 2020, Tailgate and NEBS Grilling events have been combined to count for the Ken Dakai Cup.

The TOY program covers three different kinds of events:

• KCBS Sanctioned Barbecue Contests in the following states: ME, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, NH and PA
• All NEBS sanctioned Outdoor Cooking Contests including 4 category grilling contests and 2 category Tailgate contests
• All NEBS sanctioned Kid's Q Contests and KCBS Kid's Q events listed with NEBS

NEBS Team of the Year is open to all NEBS members, however head cooks must register before July 1st 2020 to be eligible.

2020 Team Registration is now open: Register Here 
You must be logged in to your NEBS member account to register, and must be a paid up member at the end of the year for results to count. Good luck!

Awards for achievements will be presented during a ceremony at the NEBS Annual meeting in January.
