5 COMPETITION SCHEDULE AND ENTRY PROCESSBREWERY ELIGIBILITY
AUSTRALIAN BREWERIES
Australian brewing companies that are producing beer for commercial sale are eligible to participate.
Breweries-in-planning and/or those not in commercial operation by the close of entry date are not eligible to participate.
BEER ELIGIBILITY
A brewing company may enter unlimited beers into the competition.
No single beer may be entered in more than one class. Packaged and draught versions of the same beer must be entered into the same style
class.
Collaboration beers may only be entered by one party, which must be the party that has the greatest ownership (financial interest) of the
beer. If financial interest is equally shared, the beer must be entered by the brewery where the beer was produced as long as they have equal
ownership.
Many styles require additional information in order to assist the proper judging of entries. You will be prompted during the online entry process
where additional information is required.
The additional information provided is subject to editing by the RNA to ensure the additional information does not identify the beer being
judged.
If a brewing company or beer entry does not meet the eligibility requirements above by the close of entry date and has registered for the Beer
Awards, the brewing company and/or beer entry is subject to disqualification without further notice and no refund of fees will be issued.
The RNA retains sole discretion to determine eligibility of beers and breweries for the RQFWS Beer Awards.
