The Craft Beer Marketing Awards, affectionately known as The Crushies, is still open for 2024 entries, celebrating its fifth anniversary this year. The closing date in 5th February.
The CBMAS is open for submissions from creative minds in the craft beverage industry worldwide, including craft beverage makers, their agencies, artists, and marketing partners.
The CBMAS has transitioned to a fully global competition, eliminating regional distinctions and enabling all entrants to vie for the title of the world’s best in their respective categories.
The judging process relies on a robust and transparent digital scoring system, assessed by a panel of more than 600 international experts in beverage, marketing, and design.
“We did away with local regions – now every entry competes against others like it submitted from anywhere in the world,” said awards co-founder Jim McCune. “I believe this change will fuel the creativity and innovation of an already fierce competition.”
Acknowledging the expanding world of craft beverages, the CBMAS invites entries from beyond craft beer. Now hard seltzer, non-alcoholic beer, ready-to-drink cocktails, and cider/mead can compete exclusively within their own beverage type, and not against each other.
The awards organisers have also partnered with Isuzu Commercial Truck of America for a new free category. Design a beer truck wrap celebrating craft beer for a chance to see it displayed on Isuzu’s Ultimate Craft Beer Truck at the 2024
Craft Brewers Conference in Las Vegas. The designer will win bragging rights plus four CBC event passes.
