The National Hollerin' Contest, first held in 1969, is an annual competition held in Spivey's Corner, North Carolina.

The contest, held on the third Saturday in June, was inaugurated in order 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.
