General Information
Judging – February 20, 2022
All commercially-produced ciders from anywhere in the world are eligible to enter.
The judging will be conducted by panels of a minimum of four qualified trade buyers. Our trade-only judging panelists work with wine and their customers on a daily basis. They are a mix of restauranteurs, cicerones, sommeliers, retail buyers, distributors, and importers. We try to assemble each judging panel with a mix of different disciplines so multiple viewpoints will be considered in the evaluation of the wines.

AWARDS
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. If there is a significant difference among the judges’ votes, panelists are encouraged to reach a consensus and, if needed, seek counsel from the Head Judge Adam Levy.
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
