When did chili contests become a thing?

I like to pretend I am Emeril when I'm making chili. I just utter the phrases "bam," "wam," "zam" and I feel like I'm brewing some sort of revitalizing potion for humans. Take a sip of this chili and all your sorrows will vanish. As much as I love chili, what gives it the right to be judged any more than other great dishes? What about lasagna. I would sure love to be an Alex Gaureneshelli when it comes to lasagna. Imagine, county wide fairs devoted to the craft, fire fighters streaming out of their trucks, battling each other for the first taste of the creamy ricotta layered pasta dish. Is chili the people's dish? 
Chili is great and all, but I can't believe it took me this long to muster up this concoction. I love making chicken chili as an alternative to the standard beef. I still love making it spicy with peppers and seasoning but why on earth did I never think of making a buffalo chicken chili!?? Frank's Red Hot sauce is quite possibly my favorite condiment ever and according to their slogan you can "put that sh**t on everything!" This chili is the perfect meal for football game day instead of the standard wings. You can vary the toppings as you please but I added blue cheese (duh), celery, and some sour cream.
