Yup! Make 'em as zany as you like once they stay true to the spirit of Saison or Biere de Garde.

5. Only styles Saison (25B) and Biere de Garde (24C) may be submitted.

Bit of a contradiction here. Are they being judged against the BJCP guidelines? 25B and 24C wouldn't be inline with fruited or mixed fermentation beers

I am new to home brewing. Up to now I have bought kits (That is everything I need in a pouch, Just added yeast and water). So I am wondering if that is OK to enter the competition.
