US National Cider competition...?

[billbradshaw]

Hello!
I am from UK and interested in the US cider industry. Do you have a national championship for cider making? (thats alcoholic cider)
Also - can anyone tell me of any really good cider related events throughout the US?
I am a photographer who specialises in cider and want to come to US to photograph American cider production and cider culture. Any other fantastically cider related events or news would also be gratefully received, many thanks!
