Membership
Join the Alliance
For the cooks who chase perfection, the judges who protect the standard, and the people who keep the smoke rolling.
Your place at the fire.
You do not have to be a member to cook, judge, volunteer, or attend a BCA contest—but membership puts you inside the community shaping competitive barbecue.
Your support helps BCA deliver affordable, cook-friendly contests, teach the craft, strengthen civic and charitable events, and stand behind communities when they need it most.
Chase season glory
Cooking members can pursue the BCA Points Chase, Points Race, Best New Head Cook recognition, and special BCA events.
Bring a contest to life
Promoters who sanction a BCA contest receive a complimentary one-year membership for their event year.
To receive points from a contest after joining, membership must be completed by 5:00 p.m. Central on the Monday following that contest.
