CBMA Crushies

Well-known Judges who have returned or recently joined include Ralph Steadman, David Carson, Zane Lamprey, Jon Contino, Tara Nurin, Matt Furman, Harry Schuhmacher, Megan Stone, and Keith Villa.

The CBMAs are now in their third season. Founded in 2019, this is the only global awards competition to celebrate and focus on the growing importance of craft beer marketing and design strategy as a key to success in standing out among other brands on the market shelf.

Entries are open to anyone involved in marketing within the brewing industry around the world, including cider, hard seltzer, and mead. Breweries, their agencies, artists, and marketing partners are all invited to enter their work.

The 2022 CBMAs encompass more than 40 categories that cover all aspects of brew marketing, from labels to logos, and tap handles to taprooms.

Eleven new categories have been added by popular suggestion, and returning this year are the sustainability — environmental awareness and human rights categories. 

• The upcoming awards celebration will take place during the week of the 2022 Craft Brewers Conference in May, in Minneapolis. For additional information and continued updates, visit craftbeermarketingawards.com
