Entry Requirements
• Entrants must be residents of NSW to win prizes or to qualify for the national competition.
• Entrants MUST complete an electronic entry form - click here
• Entrants MUST complete a paper entry form and submit with beers on entry (click link for copy).
• Each entry will consist of 1 bottle of a minimum of 500 ml (or two 375 ml containers).
• A maximum of 2 entries per category, with no more than 1 entry in each style.
• All styles of bottle will be accepted, however, the organiser will not accept responsibility for any light strike, resulting from packaging in clear glass or plastic. Organisers will not accept responsibility for any entries entered in the wrong category, although feedback will still be given.
• Bottles will not be returned at completion of judging.
• The competition is restricted to amateur brews. This refers to beers that have not been brewed on premises licensed as a commercial brewery. Beers produced from extract kits and wort kits and Brew-On-Premises beers are allowed as they not considered to be commercially brewed. Entries must be submitted under the brewer's name(s).
• If specialty beers, meads and ciders do not have further details, the judges may not be able to give full comments or scores on the beers (though all attempts to judge these entries will be made) For specialty beers please include the base style if there is one, plus other information that you think would aid judges such as brewer’s intention, use of unusual ingredients or methods. This information should be added to the online entry form or as an additional page attached to the entry form.
