As evidenced in our "Show Me Your Labels" thread [ viewtopic.php?t=426 ], we have some very graphically-talented Borg. Anyone brave enough to enter the Brew Your Own Annual Label Contest? I think I have a snowball's chance in Hades of bringing home a prize, but someone has to win, and it will only cost me the price of a stamp to enter...

Enter the BYO Label Contest!
Author: BYO Staff Issue: Jan/Feb 2015

Enter our 20th annual homebrew label contest! Enter as often as you like, but you can only win one prize. Winners will see their artwork featured in the July-August issue of Brew Your Own and win some great prizes from BYO advertisers. Remember the deadline to enter is April 30, 2015.


Rules: Entrants may send labels or labels already stuck to bottles. We need the real thing, so no digital or electronic files will be accepted. No fee required to enter. All other rules are made up, as always, by the editors of BYO as we go along. All labels will be judged in one category, open to graphic artists and amateurs alike, so ultimate bragging rights are on the line. And we have one important request: When submitting your labels tells us a bit about the artwork and its inspiration. Is it hand-drawn? Created on a computer? Ripped off from the Louvre? Send us your best labels along with your name, address, city, state and zipcode, e-mail and phone number to:

I thought about this a few years ago when I was exclusively bottling but I only label about 1 batch/year now and my creative juices are gone. Plus, I normally stole images off the net as the basis for my labels (Jessica Rabbit, Darth Vader, etc.).

On the other hand, Ilbastard should definitely submit his!

Would be way cool if one of us won (or at least showed) in this contest. Me thinks me is going to dust off an old label or two to send in. When I first got started in this hobby I was geeked about coming up with labels until I realized just how many varieties I would be making until I settled on a few house beers and by that time I got into kegging.
