Enter the 2026 BYO Label Contest
Enter your best homemade labels for homemade beer into BYO’s 31st Annual Label Contest and compete for a share of hundreds of dollars of great brewing prizes from our sponsors! The entry deadline is August 28, 2026!

There’s no entry fee, enter as often as you like, but you can only win one prize. Winners will see their artwork featured in the November-December 2026 issue of BYO.
Rules: Send us high resolution .jpg or PDF files of your homebrew labels through email! All labels will be judged in one category, open to professional graphic artists and amateurs alike, so ultimate bragging rights are on the line. All other rules are made up, as always, by the editors of Brew Your Own as we go along. And we have a request: When submitting your labels, tell us a bit about the artwork and its inspiration (which may also be featured in a future issue of BYO). Is it original artwork? Created using AI? Made for a friend or have a funny story associated with it? Send us your best labels and good luck!

Send your entry along with your name, full mailing address, e-mail address, daytime phone number, the back story about the label, and whether this is all original artwork to: dawson@byo.com
All entries must be received by the deadline August 28, 2026.
GOOD LUCK!
