Turkey National Yo-Yo Contest
Turkey National Yo-Yo Contest, also known as Turkish National Yo-Yo Contest and Türkiye Yo-Yo Şampiyonası (in Turkish) is an annual yo-yo contest that's been organized by Yoyo Elite (now known as the Turkish Yo-Yo Committee) ever since 2009.

The preliminary rounds of the contest would be held in different cities throughout Turkey, accompanied by yo-yo players such as Ege Demir, Augie Fash, Dave Geigle, Dávid Molnár, Liu Man Ki, Sebastian Brock, and Yicheng Luo. Afterward, at the end of the year, the finals would be held in Istanbul.

In 2012, due to the support for the event being cut, the Turkey National Yo-Yo Contest was on hiatus until 2021.

In 2021 and onwards, due to the pandemic and thus the resurgence of online yo-yo contests, in order to rebuild the competitive scene and bring the best competitors of the country together, Turkey National Yo-Yo Contest started to be held in an online format, accompanied by the live-judging of, once again, yo-yo players such as Ahmad Kharisma, Brandon Vu, Ege Demir, and Remy Baskin.

In 2022, which marks the 90th anniversary of the first yo-yo contest in Turkey, the contest was held with the accompaniment of judges such as Connor Scholten, Çağan Yılmaz (Intl. Division), Ege Demir, Yulin Li, Rei Iwakura, Ryuichi Nakamura (National Division), Sebastian Brock, and Shion Araya. This year was also the first year to introduce an International Division.
