Santa Rosa, CA
General Information
The 1st Annual New York International Cider Competition is Cider focused competition that is held in conjunction with the 6th Annual New York International Beer Competition.
Top Trade Buyers from the New York Metro Area including Cider Bars, Retail Stores, Distributors and Importers will be judging the cider by its category and actual price.
It is open to all commercially made cider from around the world. Your cider does not have to be sold and or imported to New York to be in the competition.
If the judges are faced with an obviously flawed bottle of a product, no more than one additional bottle of the same entry will be opened and tasted.
The tasting order of entries is set in our database first by panel, then category. Large categories are randomly split by the database so that no panel is asked to taste more than 60 products in the same category.
Ciders are presented to judges in coded glasses. No bottles are visible to judges at any time until the competition is finished. Staff members are strictly forbidden from discussing any brand names, whether entered or not in the competition.
The decision of the judges is final and no changes are made to awards after the judging is complete. Judges receive a copy of the code sheets of the beers they judged with awards noted, so they are able to compare our records with their notes from the judging.

We request either three bottles of 12oz and 330ml, or two bottles of 500ml and 750ml per submission.
The New York International Cider Competition medals will be awarded on a merit basis by a majority vote.
The judges are instructed to grant no awards or medals when, in their opinion, the ciders are not ones they would import, distribute, buy or sell in their businesses based on product and price category.
Judges are asked to evaluate the cider in silence until all panel members have finished their evaluation and then open a discussion to reach a consensus.
Judge votes are recorded by a NYICC staff moderator.
Award levels are Double Gold, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
– Double Gold: Phenomenal Product (Must Be Unanimous Decision by Panelists)
– Gold: Buyers “Love” It
– Silver: Buyers “Like” It
– Bronze: Buyers Would Purchase It
Double Gold award winners will be re-tasted by all panelists to establish which brands may be eligible to receive a ‘Best of Category’ endorsement in its pricing category.
