The North Central Florida Blues Society is an affiliate of the Blues Foundation, which holds the International Blues Challenge every year in Memphis. As an affiliate, the North Central Florida Blues Society holds a regional competition, which allows for a winning band, solo/duo, and self-produced CD to compete as a representative of the North Central Florida region in the IBC in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee in the Beale Street Historic District.

The 2025 Regional Blues Challenge for the NCFBS will be held on Sunday, October 5 at Heartwood Soundstage in Gainesville, FL.

The NCFBS has been represented in Memphis since 2008. Four different NCFBS acts have advanced to the Semifinals, and 21 Blue made the Finals for Best Self-Produced CD in 2020. Which acts will be next? Who will take the prize and represent North Central Florida?
