National Hollerin' Contest

The National Hollerin' Contest was an annual competition held in Spivey's Corner, North Carolina.

The contest, formerly held on the third Saturday in June, was inaugurated to revive the almost-lost art of "hollerin'", a sophisticated vocal tradition that served as a means of long-distance communication between individuals as well as an amusing form of entertainment, before the widespread adoption of the telephone.

The festival was held annually on the second Saturday in September on the property of the Spivey's Corner Volunteer Fire Department.

A man named Robby Goodman, a former junior winner of the Hollerin' Contest, took the cancelled event and turned it into something new to continue the tradition.

It was then known as the World Wide Hollerin' Festival and was held on October 8, 2016 at Paradise Acres in Hope Mills, North Carolina.
