The contest is named Friday’s Awesome BBQ Sweepstakes to be exact. T.G.I. Friday’s is even giving away instant prizes, plus a trip for two to Lynchburg, Tennessee where you’ll get some one-on-one time with celebrity chef Guy Fieri. Personally, I would love to have a sit down with Guy and discuss some of the joints he has visited on his awesome Diners Drivins and Dives show. My DVR is always set to record any of his new episodes — for sure!
Friday’s is having this sweepstakes commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue™ and ends September 30, 2008. To enter click here! Or point your browser to:

About the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue™ competition:
More than 60 championship barbecue teams and some 25,000 visitors from around the world will descend on Lynchburg (Pop. 361), Tennessee for the 20th Annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue.
For two decades now, the fourth Saturday in October has marked this true world championship barbecue competition. Among the teams attending will be last year’s Grand Champion, Moonswiners from Taylorsville, Kentucky.
In order to qualify, domestic teams must have won a state championship with 25 teams entered or a competition with more than 50 teams competing in the categories of Pork Ribs, Pork Butts, Chicken and Beef Brisket. The final competitors are then selected during a blind drawing of all eligible teams in early September. The 2007 Jack Daniel’s world grand champion and the current season’s Memphis in May, American Royal Open and Houston World’s Championship Bar-B-Que grand champions receive automatic invitations.
