| 10th Annual Label Contest Winners! |
Jul, 2005 |
| |
| Homebrewers from far and near show off their artistic talents in our 10th annual label contest. From the elegant and understated to the over-the-top, here are the best of 2005. |
| |
This year marks the tenth anniversary of Brew Your Own magazine and with that comes the 10th annual BYO Label Contest. It is never easy as we sit down each year to eyeball hundreds of custom labels from our creative readership, but when all is said and done, we know our time was well spent. Great satisfaction is gained when we crown our Grand Champion, finalize our votes for Gold, Silver and Bronze labels, give mention to the honorables and select our Editorsâ Picks on a strict ãhey this label is talking to meä basis. Itâs not an exact science, but in 10 years of professional label critique, weâd like to think of it as an art. So . . . without further ado, grab a cool homebrew and check out these cool labels!
