2025 Adams Morgan Apple Festival
It’s almost Apple Pie time again!
The official Adams Morgan Apple Festival Pie Baking Contest application form will be live on this page starting at 12 Noon on Wednesday, September 17. There are 16 available contestant slots and they typically are claimed within the first several minutes of the form going live, so if you’d like to enter, plan accordingly.
Before entering, please read the following rules:
(additional instructions will be shared with the official contestants)
- Registered contestants who sign up in time can pick up free apples from the Adams Morgan Farmers Market on Saturday October 11 if they choose to. Contestants may also use their own apples.
- Only contestants who are accepted into the contest are able to compete.
- Contestants must make a minimum of 3 identical pies. Half of one of the pies will be used for the judging with the remaining two and a half pies sliced and sold for $6 per slice, all of which will be donated to the designated neighborhood nonprofit.
- No pre-made ingredients are allowed (the crust and filling must be homemade).
- No glass dishes. Pies submitted in glass dishes will not be accepted.
There will be winners in five categories: Appearance, Filling, Crust, Overall, and People’s Choice.
Winners in each category will receive a certificate, mention in our social media, and a 2 week CSA membership from Licking Creek Bend Farms.
