1. Go to entries.canadianbrewingawards.com to complete your entry form. Please ensure you complete the form based on how you want the company and brand names to appear on your award.
2. Send six bottles/cans of each beer entered.  Ensure all boxes are labeled with COMPANY NAME, PRODUCT NAME, and CATEGORY NAME.  Companies submitting non-pasteurized products are encouraged to ship using overnight delivery (not for Saturday or Sunday delivery). The Canadian Brewing Awards will not accept beer in keg format. NOTE: We ask for multiple bottles/cans of your product for two reasons: First, to ensure that if your beer advances to further rounds, which often happen a day or two later,  there are still fresh samples available for judging. Second, in the event that breakage or spillage occurs during shipping, we avoid the delay involved in you shipping replacement bottles or cans.
3. It is your responsibility to ensure all beers are packed tightly in shipping boxes to avoid breakage. We strongly suggest you wrap each bottle securely in bubble wrap. All beers received will immediately be refrigerated and categorized for the competition. If entering more than one product, you may ship them together, however, please separate the samples by category within the package and label accordingly.

Online submission ends TBD. Samples will be kept in proper refrigeration prior to judging. A brewery can only enter a total of 12 entries.

EACH ENTRY COSTS $100 + HST

The competition is open to all Canadian owned commercial brewers whose products are produced and packaged in Canada. You may submit entries in as many categories as you like (limit 12 total), but each brand may be entered in only one category.

The Canadian Brewing Awards are sanctioned by the BJCP.  Judging will be based on adherence to published style guidelines. Consult the Style Guidelines on the Canadian Brewing Awards website to determine the appropriate category for each product submission.

Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies will be awarded in each beer style category at the CBAC Awards on September 10th in Toronto Ontario.

Following the awards, brewers will receive full judging notes on each of their submissions.

Please note that categories with less than 5 entries may be eliminated or compressed into other categories. In the event that this happens, you will be contacted.
