Corn Shucking Contest

CANCELED

About

Aww Shucks! All active and retired BYU faculty, admin, staff, and their spouses are invited to our first-ever Corn Shucking Contest! Even if you don't want to compete, there will be something at the event for everyone. Experience for yourself the benefits of communal eating and shared experiences. Reserve your spot today!

The corn that is shucked in the contest will then be cleaned and grilled on-site and attendees will be given the choice of Elote-style (Mexican Street Corn) , buttered, or plain grilled corn. Both competitors and spectators are invited to munch on corn, chat, play cornhole, and cheer on coworkers during the event. If you aren't competing, you are welcome to come and go as you please.

For the contest, competitors will attempt to shuck as many ears of corn as possible with their partners before time runs out. The winners of each round will be awarded a corny prize. Contestants, please remember to come ten minutes early to your round.
