Enter the Black Jar Honey Contest at the Summer Meeting!

Make plans to enter the Black Jar Honey Tasting Contest at the WHPA Summer Meeting at the DoubleTree Hilton in Appleton June 14, 2025! Please note: this is NOT the same as a honey judging show typically held at the Fall Convention. Honey flavor and taste are the driving indicators of winning entries.

  1. Entry must be a 1-pound jar of liquid honey
  2. Free to enter (we’ll say that again…FREE!)
  3. One entry per person
  4. Entry must be produced by entrant
  5. Must be a WHPA member to enter
  6. All Summer Meeting attendees may vote
  7. Prizes awarded for 1st place entry
  8. Entries must be dropped off by 10:00am on Saturday, June 14, 2025
  9. Voting for both states will take place 11:00am – 2:00pm Saturday, June 14, 2025
  10. Winners will be announced at 2:15pm on Saturday, June 14, 2025

In a Black Jar contest, all that matters is how good the honey tastes to the judges. Honey jars will be covered so voting is anonymous and based only on flavor. Entries will not be returned to the entrant.
