Welcome to the Georgia Barbecue Association
The Georgia Barbecue Association (GBA) has established itself as the second largest barbecue competition sanctioning organization in the state of Georgia. The GBA was conceived by a handful of individuals who thought it was time to let the rest of the nation know that the best barbecue comes from Georgia. The Georgia Barbecue Association sanctions dozens of contests every year and has grown to over 600 members, 400+ certified judges, more than 180 competition cook teams. We invite you to join us and become a part of the GBA Family.
