Once submissions are received, the CCA's team will process all cans and immediately place processed submission in walk-in cooler for storage where they will remain until moments before judging.
This is a CAN ONLY beer judging competition, therefore all submitted beer must be canned. Crowlers are acceptable.
Each entry must include (at minimum) 3 cans/vessels of 10 oz or greater. This is regardless of can volume.
DO NOT AFFIX LABELS TO CANS. We will take professional photographs of all winners and share with you.

CCA’s will notify Breweries of any damaged product or missing cans once received.
Breweries will have until the submission deadline to send replacement cans.
Packing Peanuts are NOT recommended unless enclosed in plastic bags.
Cans MUST be received by July 6th. Any product received after July 6th will be disqualified. Entry fee and product will not be refunded or returned.
Feel free to send additional cans and/or swag to be used as handouts to our amazing Judges, Stewards, and Volunteers.
Packing Preference:
Roll each can in bubble wrap. Use minimal tape to secure bubble wrap.
Place wrapped cans inside of ziplock bags.
Place same Style Submission cans inside of larger ziplock style bag.
Line inside of shipping box with heavy trash bag. Line inside of trash bag with bubble wrap, balled up newspaper, air pillows, foam, etc. (Swag like T-shirts, stickers, scarves, sweaters, coasters, cups, hats, etc. all make for great packaging material)
If using packing peanuts, please avoid using loose peanuts. Instead, fill grocery bags with packing peanuts and tie off.
If shipping with ice packs, please place ice pack(s) inside their own ziplock bag due to possible rupture.
Fill shipping box to the top with packing material. Avoid having any empty space.
Tape up box well.
If possible, ship in two boxes. One smaller box wrapped in heavy duty trash bag place inside of a larger box with additional shipping material.
