Winners of The Aurora International Taste Challenge will enjoy bragging rights and display their award artwork in their tasting room, in email signatures, on the product itself as well as digital and print media, royalty-free.
Superior products will be granted Gold and Double Gold status, to reward excellent quality. Exceptional products that exceed expectations will be eligible for trophy awards. Besides the normal technical criteria used during judging, wow factor and the reading on the judge’s hedonic scale of enjoyment will be taken into account. The winners will be determined on the basis of score, and the amount of winners will not be limited to three per category.
Winning producers will be able to display award artwork on the product itself, in digital media, and in print media for a period of one year from when the awards are granted. Winners will receive a digital award artwork kit with all the permutations of the artwork related to the award received, and will be able to use the artwork subject to a non-exclusive licence agreement. No royalties are charged.
Stickers for gold and double gold awards will also be available for purchase for the winners. A one-time print run will be done, and extra stickers will be available on a first come, first served basis. You do not have to order stickers.

This year The Aurora International Taste Challenge will be held in South Africa, and will have some of the top sommeliers judging beer and cider from around the world. The goal is to identify and award the best-tasting beers, ciders and meads available to consumers. Beers are devided into more than 400 style types.
While many consumers are brand-loyal, most would choose an alternative if they had access to fair product ratings. The Aurora International Taste Challenge will grant merit and trophy awards to exceptional products readily-available worldwide. We are proud to be setting new quality standards in the food and drinks industry.
Are you top of the Hops? Are you the big Apple? An award will instantly set you apart.

Stickers will be available to the winners at R345 excluding VAT per 1000. There will be only one print run, and extra stickers will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Products will be judged on aroma, flavour, mouthfeel and overall impression using a proprietary scoring system.
Products are tasted blind, and scored on their own merit. Judges score the products on their own in silence, without conferring with other judges.
The judge’s personal preference is not taken into account.
The award artwork may only be used for the particular brand that was entered. If the company markets the exact same product under different brand names, additional non-exclusive licences will be granted to be used for the additional brands the product is sold under, at the price of the original entry fee.
Products will be judged by sommeliers who live and breathe drinks for a living, and who have an intimate knowledge of taste.
No royalties are payable.
An electronic certificate will be emailed to winning participants. Subject to adherence to the terms of the non-exclusive licence agreement, winners will also have a non-exclusive licence to make use of the digital award artwork kit, with various logos and award artwork to use on their product, in email signatures, in digital and in print media for a period of one year from the time the awards are announced. No physical trophies or awards are presented.
The award artwork may be used on the specific product and brand that was awarded, subject to non-exclusive licence agreement, for a period of one year, subject to the terms of the non-exclusive license agreement.
Each entry requires a minimum of 6 containers comprising a minimum combined volume of 1500ml, and 2 containers for samples bigger than 500ml. These samples need to be in their final bottled format, and no tank samples are allowed. No kegs are allowed.

Superior products will be granted Gold and Double Gold awards, to award products with excellent taste. These producers will be able to display this award artwork on the product itself, in digital and in print media for a period of one year from when the awards are granted, as long as the quality of the product does not change from that of the original sample, and dependent on the terms of a non-exclusive licence agreement signed by both parties.
Trophy awards will also be awarded to products that really stand out in their special area.
Stickers will be available to the winners at R345 excluding VAT per 1000. There will be only one print run, and extra stickers will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
