There's also an e-card you can send to let people know you're competing.
Check out the specifics on the category competition, especially the beer one:
* Best Birthday Cupcake: a cupcake that screams birthday to someone who’s 5 or 50.
* Best Gluten-Free Cupcake: a cupcake that excludes ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals: wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, and triticale.
* Best Holiday or Special Occasion Cupcake: Halloween, 4th of July, Weddings and Baby Showers, there are so many occasions to enjoy cupcakes.
* Best Savory Cupcake: a non-dessert cupcake that sounds more like an entrée than a cupcake
* Best Beer Cupcake: Asheville is Beer City USA after all. Two requirements for this category: beer is used as an ingredient and only contestants 21 years and older can enter a cupcake in this category.
* Best Local Foods Cupcake: a cupcake with one or more local ingredients, i.e. ingredients grown and produced within 100 miles of Asheville
