Rules and Policies
Judging, Storage, and Handling

Medals

Brewing category winners will receive a custom award for first place. Second and third places will recieve a certificate. Places are awarded for each judging table. A table is defined as a judging session for a set of category styles. Tables may contain split categories and/or subcategories as necessary to maintain competition integrity.

Judges are solely responsible for determining whether an entry is deserving of a medal. 

Judges are solely responsible for determining whether or not a judging table should receive first, second, or third place medal, based on the scores of the entries. (e.g. The highest score awarded for the judging table is a 29, so judges determined a gold medal would not be awarded.)

Scores, Score Sheets, and Prize Delivery

Winners will be announced during the break between the first and second session of Brewer's Fest. Awards will be handed out at the same tome for those in attendance.

Score sheets are judged digitally and will be posted on your account page after winners have been announced. We will ship awards to winners that are not present the day of judging.

Entry Acceptance Rules

Number of Bottles Required Per Entry: 1

Entries need to have a printed entry label placed in a plastic bag (e.g. sandwich bag) and attached to the entry with a rubber band. Do not tape the entry label to the container as it needs to be removed so the entry is anonymous.

Entries need to be in a container that is at least 12oz. and no larger than 32oz.

Containers will be wrapped to hide identifying graphics.

Entries will not be returned to contest entrants.

Be meticulous about noting any special ingredients that must be specified. Failure to note such ingredients may impact the judges' scoring of your entry.
