Howdy, Folks!

Welcome to the NEW Creative Arts Registration Portal for the State Fair of Texas! The Registration Portal allows you to register for all Creative Arts Contests – Art & Crafts, Cooking, and the Big Tex BBQ and Chili Challenge. There are more than 1,100 contests waiting to be entered, so let’s get started.

To begin, simply create an account OR log in if you have an existing account.

If you have previously participated in a Creative Arts Contest, the NEW system is not carrying over your old ID number. You will need to create a new account in this system. Please note, your contest history with the Fair is being retained.
