CARLISLE TROPHY - NH winners of first, second and third places in the “open class” at any established Agricultural Fair in NH will be eligible to compete for the Carlisle Trophy. Maple syrup destined for the Carlisle competition, must be designated as a Carlisle entry when entered into a NH fair. All entries must be produced in NH, and be entered by the person who produced it in 2 lb. Honey Jars. Each entrant must be a paid member of the NH Maple Producers Assoc. before submitting syrup designated as a Carlisle entry at any fair. There will be no exceptions. Only one entry per sugar house will be allowed into the competition of the NH Maple Producers Assoc. Only NH Grade A maple syrup may be considered for the Carlisle competition, and the first place should be awarded to the entry that best represents the characteristics of grade as set forth by the State of NH Department of Agriculture. Final competition for the Carlisle Trophy will take place at the annual meeting of the NH Maple Producers Assoc. and the trophy will be presented at that time. Contestants in the final competition must enter a one-quart sample of syrup in a commercial container. The same lot of syrup which won first, second or third place at a NH fair should be the one entered into the Carlisle competition. Entries must be delivered to the Secretary of the Association before 10:00 am on the day of the annual meeting. All score sheets will be on file with the NH Department of Agriculture, and will be the official NH Maple Judging Score Sheet. NH agricultural fairs provide maple producers an opportunity to compete for excellence. The awards presented to exhibitors publicly recognizes the skill required to make quality maple products, promotes the individual’s products to consumers, and exhibiting helps to promote maple to the general public as well.
