The Carolina Classic Fair – North Carolina’s second-largest agricultural fair – is accepting entries for a wide variety of competitive exhibits including baking, livestock, photography, art and more. All entries must be submitted by Sept. 1 for this year’s fair, which will take place in Winston-Salem from Sept. 30 through Oct. 9.

“I encourage anyone who has an interest or hobby related to our competitive exhibits to enter. There’s a competition for everyone at the Carolina Classic Fair,” Carolina Classic Fair Entry & Logistics Coordinator Rachael Lough said. “Step right up and see if you have what it takes to earn bragging rights for one of our prized blue ribbons. Best of all, you could win a share of the more than $225,000 in prize money that we’re offering this year.”

In addition to fine art, crafts, floriculture, culinary, wine, decorated holiday tree, and essay competitions – to name just some of the many categories – the Carolina Classic Fair offers a wide range of livestock competitions, including beef, dairy, sheep, lamb, and poultry categories.  Most of the livestock awards also are given in youth categories.
