Looks close to an Amber Ale....or a Cal Common....that fermentation temp is on the high end of that strain.

Look through the style guidelines, the are posted online. Sometimes I have a beer that is hard to decide which category to go into, but sampling the beer and looking at the guidelines helps narrow it down.

Enter it in the category it tastes like. Judges never see a recipe. If that beer turns out to be an amber, steam, brown, dark saison if the ferment went weird, enter it where te flavor puts it.
