Sponsorships for the 2027 Chili Cook-Off will open early 2027.

As one of the area's largest annual fundraising events, sponsorships provide outstanding visibility for your company while supporting scholarships, educational initiatives, and community programs throughout the Bakken.

Sponsorship opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis and many levels sell out quickly. Watch your email, our website, and social media for the official sponsorship announcement.

Chili Team Registration

Chili team spots are filled based on returning teams from the previous year. Returning teams will receive registration information directly and must confirm their participation by the announced deadline.

Should any team spots become available, they will be offered through a waitlist or announced publicly on the Williston API website and social media.

To receive maximum promotional exposure, sponsorship commitments and logos should be submitted before the published marketing deadlines.

Official 2027 marketing deadlines will be announced when sponsorship registration opens.
