The second place winner will receive $1,500 and third place will receive $1,000. The remaining seven finalists walk away with $150. All finalists receive a $500 travel reimbursement and a gift basket courtesy of Martha White and Lodge Cast Iron. The National Cornbread Festival offers a full weekend of family-friendly fun that includes live entertainment, a carnival, and more than 50 food and crafts vendors. Best of all? Taste delicious new cornbread recipes in our Cornbread Alley.
