FAQ

Medals will be awarded to any beverage that meets the various rating thresholds required for Platinum, Double Gold, Gold, or Silver. Awards will be given to the overall winner of each flavor competition, as well as the overall winner of each 'Best Of" category.

As long as one of the flavors in your combination matches a flavor category, you can choose that flavor. If none of your flavors match a flavor category, please choose the “other” flavor category.

Please send us at least 3 cans for every entry. Please exercise care when submitting your cans to avoid potential damage in transit.

As long as your online entry matches the naming convention/branding of your beverage packaging, there is no need to include additional paperwork with your shipment.
