What you will need:
You will need to pre-register by July 31, 2026, so we can send you a confirmation email. Outside food is not allowed in the fair, so you may need the confirmation email at the gate to confirm your participation in our contest.

Submission Guidelines:

1. All baked goods must be the sole work of the contestant, submitted in a covered container and on a disposable dish or tray, along with the UPC code from the bag of King Arthur Flour that was used in the entry.
2. Be sure to submit your entry with your confirmation email AND the full, legible recipe. Do not include your name in the recipe or title.

For MUFFINS: Submit two regular-sized muffins closest in color and size.
For QUICK BREAD: Submit one uncut mini loaf.

Judging will take place in the afternoon, and the winners will be emailed. We will also announce the winners on Facebook and place the winning baked goods in the contest case with a sign announcing the placements.
