ACS Launches New Website & Announces 2014 Call For Entries

ACS' new website, www.cheesejudging.com, is live and ready to accept your 2014 Judging & Competition entries! This new website, designed to be your one-stop shop for all your Judging & Competition information, is now the place to enter the 2014 Judging & Competition.

This year's annual judging of American cheeses and cultured dairy products will take place on July 27 and 28 at the Sacramento Convention Center in Sacramento, California — immediately prior to the Annual ACS Conference, Celebrating the American Cheese Plate, which will be held July 29 – August 1, 2014.

Last year, the ACS Judging & Competition saw a record 1,794 entries, and participation in 2014 is expected to be even stronger. Winners in each category, including "Best of Show" honorees, will be revealed at the ACS Awards Ceremony on Thursday, July 31 in Sacramento.

2014 Entry Deadlines & Fees

  •     Friday, May 9 (Entry Deadline, $60 per product)
  •     Friday, May 16 (Late Entry Deadline, $85 per product)  

No entries will be accepted after May 16, 2014. 

If you are a producer, submit your entries today via ACS's online entry system! You can log in to enter new products, review your previous year's entries, and make edits or additions for 2014. Please note: if you entered the Judging & Competition in 2013, 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 email Anna for assistance if you cannot remember your username and password, or 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 Sacramento this summer.

Best of luck!
