Prizes / Awards / Medals / Ribbons

Each submission is rated on 22 points of quality in Appearance, Aroma, Mouth-Feel, Flavor, & Finish for a total possible score of 100.

The final awarded score will be based on the average scored by Judges.

Medals are awarded by the following ranking:
Gold: 91-100
Silver: 81-90
Bronze: 71-80

This quality based scoring system allows for medals to be awarded through independent evaluation, rather than through comparison against other submissions.

It is possible, and likely, that multiple gold, sliver, or bronze awards will be awarded in each category.

It is also possible that not all three medals will be awarded in each category.
