The State Fair offers many competition categories such as arts and photography, culinary, livestock, fruit and vegetable production, hobbies and handicrafts, flowers, LEGOS and more.
"Our competitions highlight the talents of the residents of North Carolina," said Kent Yelverton, N.C. State Fair director.
"Whether your talent is growing giant vegetables, raising champion goats, cross-stitching or crocheting, painting rocks, scrapbooking, photography, flower arranging or more, the fair likely features a competition for you."
The State Fair Flower Show will see some changes in 2025 with each show highlighting different varieties of individual plants.
