The awards are proudly sponsored by self-adhesive label supplier Rotolabel and are convened by Winemag.co.za secondary sponsors include UPM Raflatac, Synchron, Kemtek and HP Indigo.  

The motivation for the competition is to reward outstanding design as an influence on wine, beer and spirit purchases and all South African wine, beer and spirit producers as well as design studios are invited to enter by the deadline of 19 February 2020. An entry fee depending on category applies.

Distinguished judges representing the various drinks sectors as well as design have been appointed. Judging criteria include originality of concept, execution, shelf appeal and effectiveness as a piece of communication. A series is defined as a sequence of products which combine so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Wines will be judged in four categories: 1) under R80 a bottle; 2) over R80 a bottle; 3) over R500 a bottle and 4) labels forming a series – no price constraints.

Beers will be judged in two categories: 1) single labels and 2) labels forming a series.

Spirits will be judged in two categories: 1) single labels and 2) labels forming a series.

Wine, beer and spirits must be produced in South Africa; commercially available; and the minimum stock requirement is 50 six-bottle cases. Each entry must be accompanied by a 150-word creative rationale.

After official judging, finalists will then be displayed on Winemag.co.za for a set period to allow for consumer voting to determine a “People’s Choice” winner. The award ceremony takes place on 18 March 2020.
