2020 Label Contest Winners
Maybe it was because people had been cooped up at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. Maybe the word got out and spread further than in some previous years. Maybe it was the quarter-century anniversary . . . but whatever it was, this year’s label contest drew more high-quality entries from homebrewers than we may have ever received before. And they weren’t just from here in the States either. It’s fair to say, the BYO Label Contest has truly gone international in its 25th year. Each of the top three winners were foreign entries — and of the 18 winning labels published over the next few pages, seven countries are represented. That is definitely a first.
We’d like to thank our generous sponsors for the donated prizes, and we hope even if you didn’t win you enjoy seeing the creative homebrew labels sent in from around the world. And remember, next year’s label contest is only a year away!
