Early Registration Form (must be submitted by May 1st)
List of Fiddle Contest Winners from 1981 to present!
Please note that the entry fee is per division. If entering Twin and another division, you must pay twice. If you register for camping it is first come, first served for site location. If you pre-register you will pick up your registration packet at the Welcome Center just outside the main gates of Stephen Foster State Park. Once inside the park, go to the campground gates to pick up your camping/vehicle pass. Then you can select your site. The early bird gets the better sites, and hookups are not guaranteed!
Is there going to be a fiddle contest this year too? Or was it just 2016?

You can sign up on-site, but if you’d like to do it early we should have a pre-registration form up on our website soon (on the Fiddle Contest page.) There will be an option to register for the contest and camping for $50, or just the contest for $10 (camping is limited, so the earlier the better if choosing this option.)
