Where are mead comps?

[Maylar]

Besides Mazer Cup and Domras, are there any other mead comps in the US? It appears that the Texas Mead Cup and Mead Free Or Die are gone. Some of the brew comps that I've entered cider in also judge mead and cysers but are there other dedicated mead comps?

The only competition near me (Chicago area) that I know of that has meads & ciders is the Drunk Monk Challenge put on by the UKG homebrew club. It's one of the bigger comps in the Chicago around and is mostly beer, but they do judge mead too (I think there were around 40 meads entered last year).

The Drunk Monk Challenge Homebrew Competition sponsored by Urban Knaves of Grain (UKG) Homebrew Club, DuPage County, Illinois, USA

The Drunk Monk Challenge is an annual American Homebrew Association(AHA) sanctioned amateur homebrewer's competition. It is a leg of The Midwest Homebrewer of the Year (MWHBOTY) and the Illinois qualifying event in the Master Homebrewer's Circuit of America.

I was going to send you the links to some I've participated in - but easier if I send you a screen shot. They aren't hard to locate by their names:
