3. A maximum of 1 entry per Category.

4. All styles of bottle will be accepted, however, the organiser will not accept responsibility for light strike, resulting from packaging in clear glass or plastic. Organisers will not accept responsibility for entries entered in the wrong category, although feedback will still be given.

5. Bottles will not be returned at completion of judging.

6. The competition has been registered with the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) and will use the 2015 BJCP Style Guidelines (see http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.php).

7. The competition is restricted to amateur brews, either extract or all-grain.  Entries must be submitted under the brewer's name(s).

8. ​We think that beer made from commercially produced fresh wort kits have an unfair advantage over genuinely home-brewed beers. We will be happy to provide feedback on these entries but they are not eligible for prizes. Obviously this relies on your honesty - please note your entry form accordingly.

9. If specialty beers 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.
