It's back and better than ever! ACS has opened the Call for Entries for the annual Judging & Competition via its online entry system. This annual judging of American cheeses and cultured dairy products will take place on July 29 and 30 at Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin — immediately prior to the Annual ACS Conference, ACS 30th Anniversary: In a Dairy State of Mind, which will be held July 31 – August 3.
Last year, the ACS Judging & Competition saw a record 1,711 entries, and participation in 2013 is expected to be stronger than ever. Winners in each category, including "Best of Show" honorees, will be revealed at the ACS Awards Ceremony on Friday, August 2 in Madison.

If you are a producer, submit your entries today via ACS's online entry system! You can log in* to enter new products, or to review your previous year's entries and make edits or additions for 2013. Please note: if you entered the Judging & Competition in 2012, whether online or by mail, then you already have a company profile in our online entry system. Contact the ACS office at (720) 328-2788 or entries@cheesesociety.org for assistance if you cannot remember your username and password, of if you need assistance with the entry process.
The ACS staff, the ACS Judging & Competition Committee, and our nineteen teams of expert technical and aesthetic judges hope to see you and your products in Madison this summer.
Best of luck!
