Each entry must accompanied by an AHA/BJCP Bottle Identification Form. The essential data required are name, phone number, Email Address, Name of Beer, Category Entered, and Subcategory Entered. Additional information may be required as specified by the style (which is the case for a Winter Seasonal and other styles).

For the Winter Seasonal Entries, please note the following instructions that can be found in the BJCP 2015 Style Guidelines:

Entry Instructions: The entrant must specify a base style, but the declared style does not have to be a Classic Style. The entrant must specify the type of spices, sugars, fruits, or additional fermentables used; individual ingredients do not need to be specified if a well-known blend of spices is used (e.g., mulling spice).

This will assist in the judging of the entries and avoid confusing spice flavors with off flavors. This information can be submitted separate from the Bottle ID form; please be sure it includes the Name of your beer with it (this way the judges can read it and the brewer can remain anonymous).

Good luck!
