How about this one?
http://www.ehg.ca/abc

It's an MCAB qualifying event. Would be a fun bragging right to say you've won awards in two different countries (just omit the part about it being from Canada)

[jeffjm]

Here's a competition coming up in August in California. There don't seem to be many others scheduled around this time.

[Witch Doctor Dale]

When are you collecting these?

[jeffjm]

Not sure if that question was directed at me or not - but I'll volunteer to collect at the BJCP class tonight. I'm headed out of town in a couple of days and won't be able to collect afterwards.

If someone has entries for this, I will collect at the July meeting.

Bump. I will collect entries at Thursday's meeting.

Bump. I have updated (finally) the first post of this thread with update URLs for results, lists of club winners, and upcoming competitions.

Mike,
Champion of the Pint resulets are on the registration page:

[beermikester]

Thanks. List updated.

[beermikester]

Congratulations to Kerth Stocker, who took first place in the Belgian Strong Ale category and third place in American Ambers at the Ohio Brew Week Competition.

By the way, check the first post of this thread often to see upcoming competitions, links to results, and listings of club winners. I update that post as information becomes available.

Mike

[JoeHPhil]

Which competitions will we be collecting for during the Aug 2 meeting?

[beermikester]

As a general rule of thumb, look at the competitons listed on the first post. Each has an entry deadline. For close ones, subtract about 10 days, and for further ones, subtract two weeks. That is how soon you would need to get your entries to Tim.

So I would think the ones you could bring in tomorrow would be:

Beer & Sweat (questionable)
KC Irish Fest Scottish or Irish Ale Brewing Contest
Blue Ridge Brew Off
Schooner Homebrew Championship
DRAFT Dayton Beerfest
Commander SAAZ Inteerplanetary Homebrew Blastoff
Nordeast Big River Homebrew Competition
